Since marijuana, or more specifically cannabis-derived THC, is still illegal federally and you mark yes when filling out the federal firearms paperwork you will not be allowed to buy a firearm.

However, if you select No, but do use cannabis-derived THC, and admit to or it or law enforcement finds out then you've committed a felony. It's the same law they applied to Hunter Biden's case.

Why they felt the need to comment on that specifically in this thread? No idea either.

Note: I'm not aware of any cases yet that are for hemp-derived THC products that meet the legality under the 2018 Farm Bill. Thats kind of a gray area currently, so you're taking your chances.
