- Rob Greene, the district attorney in Warren County, said in December he would not seek reelection when current term expires in 2025
- He revealed he has a medical marijuana card and said he wants to focus on advocacy for marijuana legalization and regulation
- That advocacy has expanded into court with a lawsuit that challenges federal law
As Warren County district attorney, Rob Greene is the chief elected law enforcement official in his jurisdiction, but federal law prohibits him from possessing guns.
The reason for the ban, he said in newly filed federal lawsuit, is because he obtained a medical marijuana card in May 2023 and uses cannabis for health reasons.
Greene is going to court to try to change the situation. He is challenging the federal prohibition on gun ownership by medical marijuana users.
