Possession is not specifically prohibited. And use may or may not be prohibited, depending on one's interpretation of a law that is, um... clear as mud.* Eminent legal scholars line up on both sides of that question; we'll probably have to wait for the courts to sort it out. Or for Congress to change the law (yeah, right ).
