True, but what happens if you were busted for possession before (or even later for that matter) and the feds are already looking for something to charge you with? Now they have felony perjury on an official government form.
that's a good point. but wouldn't they have to prove that you were using it at the time of filling out the form? anyone could have at one time been a user of marijuana, stop being a user at that current time of filling out the form, and then in the future become a user again. that would technically not be lying
Please note the very next part of the same question (the warning) states it is unlawful to use or be addicted to on the federal level even if the state you were in legalized it, therefore if you have ever used or we're ever addicted to (once an addict...), then you either disqualify yourself, or lie on the form and you are still in the same shape.

IIRC, it asks something to the effect of, have you ever used pot.
If you ever have and they find out, bam your done.
Likewise, if you ever use after that and try to buy one, same.
i looked it up. it only asks if you are an unlawful user of or addicted to it.
