IIRC the 4473 asks if one is a "user" ( that to me would mean current or recent, repeated ).
It doesnt ask if " have you ever used? "
I think the wording specific enough, but obviously anything can be argued and a definitive time frame would/should stop such legal argument.
The wording about " addicted " removes the time frame IMHO, some entity would have to have declared the person as such. So even if they quit using for quite a while, once that label has been affixed, they are screwed w that question.
Same for folks that voluntarily seek mental health.
Once somebody puts something on a form youre screwed.
Some lady wanted a gun but had voluntarily went to some shrink when going through divorce years before. I dunno how much money she spent on lawyer to clean it up.....if it did.
At least she answered the 4473 honestly.
