Len Saunders: Possession

Marijuana Laws Dept: Since Washington State legalized possession of small amounts of marijuana last November, confused Canadians have been banned from the U.S. for attempting to bring the drug over the border, Blaine, Wash. lawyer Len Saunders said, according to CTV. That because though the laws have changed in Washington, possession or even past use of marijuana is still considered illegal at the federal level and A growing number of British Columbians are getting busted at the U.S. border for pot possession because of conflicting marijuana laws, an American immigration lawyer says. If you get stopped at the port of entry either with a small amount of marijuana or admit to possessing it in the past or using it, you are deemed inadmissible to the U.S., Saunders said.
