Pot User: Rebagliati and Immigration Experts

pot user: Rebagliati, an open pot user who runs a dispensary called Ross' Gold in Kelowna, said he was last denied entry around four years ago because of his well-documented relationship with marijuana, according to CTV. They turned me around with my six-month-old baby and my wife and my dog, he told CTV News. That's the lesson from immigration experts as Olympic snowboarding champion Ross Rebagliati battles an ongoing ban on travelling to Canada's southern neighbour. The Olympian said they were trying to head down for a visit with his mother, who lives in California, over the winter. I had a feeling before I went down that there could be some complications, he said. Rebagliati had been sent back before, but the family decided to chance it anyway. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
