Canadians Could Be Denied US Entry for Legal Pot Use
加拿大人可能因合法使用大麻被禁止进入美国
As Canada prepares to legalize recreational cannabis this October, US border officials warn of potential border crossing problems and even lifetime bans. A senior border official for US Customs warned that using and investing in the cannabis industry is federally illegal in the US even though several US states have already legalized recreational and medicinal marijuana use. Because of this, Canadians who admit to using cannabis or working in the industry could be denied entry and even banned from travelling or investing in the US for life. Shares in the Canadian cannabis industry fell shortly after this news broke. When asked to comment, Canada’s prime minister defended the US right to police their borders as they see fit.
加拿大打算在今年十月合法化娱乐大麻使用,美国边境官员警告可能出现边境穿越问题甚至是终身禁令。美国海关的一名高级边境官员警告,即使美国多州已经合法化了娱乐和药用大麻,但使用大麻或在大麻产业投资违反了美国联邦法律。所以,承认使用大麻或在大麻产业工作的加拿大人可能被拒绝入境,甚至终身被禁止去美国旅游或投资。此消息公布后,加拿大大麻产业的股份出现下跌。在被问及有何意见时,加拿大总理维护了美国以其认为合适的方式监管边境的权利。
