James Sward: Drug History

British Columbia Dept: On a recent trip to the U.S., border officials asked the British Columbia elevator mechanic about his drug history. He was honest. Maybe too honest, he said, according to CTV. It guys like me that want to tell the truth, Sward told British Columbia. The system worked against me, being honest and James Sward readily admits it: he has tried marijuana. More than once. He just never imagined it would get him banned from the United States. He admitted to getting busted carrying pot as a teen though he was never charged or convicted. But when he admitted to smoking the drug, he was flatly denied entry and banned. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
