Purdy, 264 F.3d 809, 812-13 (9th Cir. 2001), supplies a Ninth Circuit statutory construction in an as-applied vagueness decision. Apply the governing circuit's formulation and proof beyond reasonable doubt; this is not a nationwide fixed lookback period. It defines the user branch, not the alternative addiction branch. Hemani's Second Amendment question remains separate.
