(KWNO)-Minnesotans who plan to use legal marijuana can’t possess, ship, transport or receive firearms or ammunition. That’s according to a statement from The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). Agents say that’s because cannabis is still an illegal, controlled substance under federal law.

Recreational marijuana will become legal in Minnesota on August 1.
