The problem is that most of us see the firearms right as a federal one, and marijuana is illegal under federal law.
Most of us believe that state laws should not be able to pre-empt our federal firearms rights under the constitution.
Alcohol possession is not illegal under federal law, and neither are prescription meds.
Marijuana possession is illegal under federal law even if your state has allowed you a prescription for it.
It is sort of like being a bit two faced.
People want the state law to pre-empt federal law about marijuana, but don’t want the state law to pre-empt federal law about gun rights.
Not sure how to resolve it as I don’t want marijuana legalized nationally.

You could look to the Constitution to resolve this dilemma. If you did, then you would see there is no conflict.
The Tenth Amendment says that if a power is not delegated to the United States, nor forbidden by the Constitution, then that power goes to the states. Fedgov is delegated no power to control intrastate mj. The Second and Fourteenth forbid both the states and fedgov from infringing on the RKBA.
