The National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS) does not specifically check for medical marijuana use. However, individuals who use marijuana, even for medical purposes, are considered illegal users of a controlled substance under federal law. As a result, those who disclose their medical marijuana use may be denied a firearm purchase due to this federal prohibition.

In some other states, a background check is not required for citizens of that state that hold an "alternate permit"- such as a concealed weapons permit that is subject to the same or better screening than NICS. You can find information on NICS at the FBI website- including a map of the states that participate, and those that have different arrangements.
