Security always laughs at the wife and I when the see our baggie with a bunch of bottles of booze when we go on a vacation down south.

Wouldn’t it be cheaper(and less headache) to just buy booze at your destination down south? That could be the reason why security are always laughing.

They know they are to be drunk on the plane, and that's the only reason people bring them. They literally say things like "oh going to have a good flight eh? ha ha ha"

I would be shocked if anyone brings airplane size bottles to be drank at their destination.

Haven't really checked the details, will it now be legal to bring pot into the country? Or only legal to purchase it here?

Kiran403 · 06-21-2018, 11:09 AM

Only purchasing it here. Crossing the border with it into the US, bringing it back with you, or ordering from outside Canada is still illegal.

Very curious to see how this plays out. Potential for massive amount US lifetime bans.

Quote:

In addition to those who have used marijuana, Canadians who are involved with the cannabis economy have been labelled “inadmissible” because they are considered to be living off the profits of the drug trade. Once banned for life, they must seek legal waivers from an immigration lawyer — good for between one and five years — for the rest of their lives when they wish to cross the border.

Quote:

Keirton is not involved with the production, distribution or sale of cannabis. But because its equipment is explicitly intended to be used by people who are, Evans and his colleagues were told after a six-hour interview they were “drug traffickers” according to U.S. federal law.

Interesting.
I know of a gal who moved from O&G to an MJ start-up, her and her husband own a property in Arizona....I guess now he'll have to go alone.

This was inevitable as the US is very clear on their entry laws. Unfortunately it looks like many people either were not aware or did not think it through before associating themselves with an industry that is still illegal in the US.

CliffFletcher · 07-13-2018, 04:46 PM

I know accountants, biologists, and investment advisors who are working in the Canadian marijuana industry. So dumb that the U.S. would ban people who likely spend a lot of money in the U.S. on travel.

So it's okay for an Oregonian who works in the marijuana industry to travel to Arizona, but it's not okay for an Albertan? Doesn't make any sense.

I think as long as you don't advertise that you are in the cannabis industry at the border you will be fine.

Remember when the Senate wanted all investors in MJ stocks to be on a public listing? Pretty happy that got nixed. I'm sure the US would have used that list for no entry purposes.

Does this apply to medical users too? If so, how is it any different than someone who has an Oxy prescription?

Homeland security: Have you ever used illegal drugs?

Medical cannabis patient: I’ve never used an illicit substance in my life.

They can still bar you from entering but from what I’ve heard that’s the safest answer you can give them. Your best bet is to have a medicinal use card even after legalization happens, it could make the difference between getting in and getting barred.

Fuzz · 07-13-2018, 07:35 PM

That doesn't make sense. You suggest lying, then having a card to prove you lied?

I was wondering if the Homeland Security regards medical users as legitimate. Would having a card prove you are a guilty pot smoker, or prove you are using a legitimate medicine. How is it viewed?

Cecil Terwilliger · 07-13-2018, 07:38 PM

Leave your card at home. Answer no if they ask about drugs.

I believe they view weed as having no medicinal benefits so trying to claim you have a legit prescription or medical need won’t matter.

You’re a little confused, medical cannabis is not an illicit substance in Canada.

Fuzz · 07-13-2018, 09:22 PM

Gee, thanks. I was obviously referring to the US border, which has nothing to do with it's legal status in Canada. That doesn't answer what I was asking.

To be clear: Will the US treat medical users the same way it treats non-medical users? As in, if you admit that you have a legal medical prescription in Canada, will you be banned form entering if questioned(and answered), even if you do not have your medication on you?

burn_this_city · 07-13-2018, 09:41 PM

I would assume they will until proven otherwise. Since it's not medically legal at the Federal level I doubt it will be treated differently.

Welcome to the US. Especially lately.

It’s entirely up to the border agent whether or not they let you cross. You could admit to smoking cannabis and they may deny you or let you in. You could deny it, or have never used cannabis in your life and they could still deny you entry. Being a Canadian citizen doesn’t give you the right to enter the US, but you can still be allowed to enter even if you admit to having used cannabis, whether it be medicinal or not. Having a card just looks a little more legit.
