The question that shouldn’t be asked at the U.S. border
KAMLOOPS — The sad state of Canada-U.S. relations is no more obvious than in the marijuana border rule.
Let me explain. Recreational use of marijuana will become legal in Canada later this year. Recreational use of marijuana is legal in several of the United States, including the state of Washington.
But at the federal level in the U.S., it remains illegal under the Controlled Substances Act.
So, just because it will be legal in Canada doesn’t mean a thing when Canadians are crossing the border into the U.S.
