Citizenship - Medical Marijuana Card

A family member of mine obtained a medical marijuana card and is now stressing about it for their citizenship interview (yes, they should have thought about this previously). They have no criminal history but obviously medical marijuana is not federally legal. They consulted a lawyer in their state and the lawyer recommended they don’t go to the interview last month and to just renew their green card for now and to reapply for citizenship in five years.

However, they just recently received a notice for their rescheduled interview next month. They plan on getting a second opinion from another lawyer but I’m curious what peoples opinions are on this. Without any prior criminal history, would you go to your appointment and hope they don’t ask questions about marijuana, or would you withdraw your application and just renew your green card?
