Pot Use Admission Snagging Canadians At US Border

Pot Use Admission Snagging Canadians At US Border

Brandon Bartelds smokes three joints at once while attending the 4-20 annual marijuana celebration, in Vancouver, B.C., on Friday April 20, 2018. One of British Columbia's busiest rescue teams is warning backcountry hikers not to get high on their hike. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Darryl Dyck

Share on FacebookShare on TwitterShare on Whatsapp

VICTORIA:  Canadians wanting to cross the U.S. border are being asked different marijuana questions than they were before cannabis was legal, says an American immigration lawyer who represents numerous aging baby boomers denied entry to America for past pot use.

Recreational marijuana will have been legal for a year now in Canada, but any celebrating still stops at the U.S. border, said Len Saunders, a Canadian-born lawyer based in Blaine, Wash.

“They are not asking questions of recent use because they know they can’t because it’s legal in Canada,’’ he said. Instead, he said they’re asking Canadians if they have ever smoked marijuana.

An official for the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office emailed a statement dated September 2018 that said U.S. laws will not change after Canada’s legalization of marijuana.

Cannabis supporter Heather Pratt lights up at a rally outside governments offices following the legalization of cannabis in Calgary, Alta., Wednesday, Oct. 17, 2018.THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jeff McIntosh

The statement said even though medical and recreational marijuana is legal in some U.S. states and Canada, marijuana is not legal under U.S. federal law which supersedes those laws.

“Consequently, crossing the border or arriving at a U.S. port of entry in violation of this law may result in denied admission, seizure, fines, and apprehension,’’ said the statement.

Border officials are compiling data about the number of Canadians stopped at U.S. crossings since marijuana legalization in Canada. Saunders said he has noticed over the past year an increase in Canadians in their 50s and 60s wanting his services after being denied entry to the US because of admitted marijuana use.

“It’s prior to legalization and they admit to it, then it’s still grounds to inadmissibility,’’ he said. “They say, ‘I did it back in the 70s, hippie stuff.’ ‘’

Barry Rough, a resident of Langley, B.C., said he received a lifetime ban from the U.S. last August after he told border officials that he last smoked marijuana 18 years ago.

Rough, 61, said he was travelling to Emerson, Wash., to offer addictions counselling to an Indigenous group but border officials denied his entry to the U.S.

“They asked me if I’d ever done drugs and I told the truth,’’ he said. “So I told them, ‘Yes, I smoked marijuana 18 years ago.’ Four hours later, I was escorted across the border after I was fingerprinted, frisked, pictures taken and asked 1,000 questions, the same question every time.’’

Rough said he hired Saunders to help him apply for a waiver to enter the United States. His family has vacation property in Palm Springs, Calif., and he wants to visit later this year.

He estimated the waiver process will cost him about US$2,000. The cost includes legal fees, criminal record checks and he is expected to write a letter of remorse for smoking marijuana in the past. Rough warned other Canadians could face the same circumstances.

Toronto immigration lawyer Joel Sandaluk said he hasn’t seen many cases where people have been denied access to the U.S. on grounds of marijuana use. Sandaluk said it is possible border officers behave differently at different crossings.

“One of the things you have to remember about border officers, Canadian as well as American, is they have vast discretion when it comes to who they stop, who they search and how they examine,’’ he said.

Canada Border Services Agency said in a statement it has developed awareness tools to inform travellers of the continued prohibition of the cross-border movement of marijuana.”Our message on cannabis is simple: don’t take it in, don’t take it out,’’ said the statement. “It is illegal to bring cannabis in or out of Canada.’’
