RE:US borderYES.
“The Globe and Mail reports in its Thursday edition that the United States government has clarified that Canadians who are employed in the legal cannabis industry are allowed to enter the country for non-work purposes without negative repercussions at the border. The Globe's Daniel LeBlanc and Mark Rendell write that in a revised statement on its cannabis policy, U.S. Customs and Border Protection said, "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." The new wording eased concerns here in Canada. Many people had feared that the U.S. government's restrictive approach meant that if they tried to enter the U.S., their names could end up on lists of individuals who are not allowed to cross the border. Before the clarification was issued this week, the U.S. border agency said that employment in the cannabis industry could "affect admissibility to the U.S." Senior officials at licensed producers, lawyers and industry consultants had cancelled or postponed trips for fear of being turned back and being flagged in border security records.”
