U.S. Customs and Border Protection says Canadian citizens working in the cannabis industry should be able to enter the U.S. for reasons unrelated to the marijuana industry.
The agency updated its website Tuesday, providing a measure of clarity after a vague statement last month left the industry and investors facing uncertainty about travel of any kind to the U.S.
That statement sparked weeks of confusion and rumours that those tied to the cannabis industry could face lifetime bans from the U.S.
It read that "As marijuana continues to be a controlled substance under United States law, working in or facilitating the proliferation of the legal marijuana industry in U.S. states where it is deemed legal or Canada may affect admissibility to the U.S."
It's been updated to say that for travel unrelated to the industry, these same people will "generally" be allowed into the U.S.
"A Canadian citizen working in or facilitating the proliferation of the legal marijuana industry in Canada, coming to the U.S. for reasons unrelated to the marijuana industry will generally be admissible to the U.S., however, if a traveller is found to be coming to the U.S. for a reason related to the marijuana industry, they may be deemed inadmissible," the statement reads...

Here's what the ones in New Brunswick look like...

I do not advocate that anyone should use cannabis.

Soon, Federal restrictions will be removed in the US.
While some states will choose to NOT legalize it, they will be inundated anyway. They likely are now.
And you’ll have to move to a country that doesn’t allow it, or just put up with it.
The nice price.
But not in Ohio...
In California, every adult citizen can grow 6 plants to maturity in their backyard...unless prohibited by local ordinance. That would be a code violation, not unlike raising a couple of chickens where not allowed.
But every resident in every jurisdiction can grow 6 plants indoors.
And keep the proceeds from those 6 plants. That could be 1-25 pounds of trimmed buds, depending.
Additionally, ever resident is able to have up to 1 ounce in their possession outside their home. And every resident is entitled to gift up to one ounce at a time.
This winter, after the harvest, drying, trimming etc. California will be literally swimming in pot. FAR, far more than the state stoners can consume. And the wholesale price for legally grown will be zip dot nada.
And the legal commercial sector will be completely wiped out. Enormous losses.
Nevada has an almost identical law.
I looked at the legal weed prices. $80 for a quarter ounce.
I'll bet that wherever it is that this price is being charged, some consumers are paying it - which represents money out of the cartels' pockets. Of course, as I noted, that effect would be even greater with lower sales taxes.
I don’t recall where the dispensary was that I found that price. Still a lot of money for a little bit of weed. I worked at a car dealership in the late ‘70s with a guy who was in the army who said when he was stationed in Germany, pot was $20 for a matchbox sized portion. Ow!
