Agriculture Commissioner Nikki Fried on Wednesday filed a lawsuit challenging federal restrictions that can prevent people from buying and possessing guns if they obtain medical marijuana in Florida.

Fried and three other plaintiffs filed the lawsuit in federal court in Tallahassee, alleging that the restrictions violate Second Amendment rights and should be blocked.

The case said a federal law and regulations by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives “forbid Floridians from possessing or purchasing a firearm on the sole basis that they are state-law-abiding medical marijuana patients.” Florida voters in 2016 passed a constitutional amendment that broadly legalized medical marijuana in the state.
