When I was younger I smoked pot and I had a medical marijuana card and that did not deny me for my Washington cpl. I also had a marijuana possession charge and that did not give me any issues in Washington. But that's because Washington State is issuing the permit. If for some reason you ever were to be in a federal court situation for using your forearm I'm sure that would be held against you.
In OREGON however, my marijuana possession charge gave me some issues when applying for my Oregon CHL. I answered NO to the 'unlawful user of marijuana' question and during the 30 day investigation process I got a call from a nice lady at the Multnomah county sheriffs office saying that my application was denied and I needed to resubmit and not initial by the unlawful user question. She stated that you're allowed to have TWO marijuana related charges on your background check. If you have more than two, it is an automatic denial for a CHL in Oregon. So I am lucky that I only had one. Once I re-applied she pushed my application to the front of the line and 4 days later my permit was in the mail
