The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday agreed to take up whether a federal law that bans gun possession for drug users is constitutional, with a decision expected by next summer, The Hill reports. The case stems from the prosecution of Ali Danial Hemani, an alleged regular marijuana user, who was charged after agents searched his home and found cocaine, marijuana and a Glock 19. His conviction was overturned by an appeals court, which ruled the law’s broad scope conflicted with gun rights. It also found that prosecutors had not alleged that Hemani was unlawfully under the influence when the gun was discovered. The Trump administration had asked the justices to take up the case.
