It can be Legal and We Can All Benefit… Or you can fund the Cartels… Gotta wonder why the Republicans want to fund the Cartels rather than gain funds…
Two side by each
Good, the USA has enough drug addicts, we don’t need any of Canada’s trash and refuse.
It’s already legal here so don’t know where you’re getting your info. Became so first of September and is being sold Dr’s are giving cards. Thus I don’t care what boarder patrol states it is legal. Over 75% of USA boarder patrol uses pot, other alcoholics. Stand up to them The Constitution of The United States of America tells We The People do not have to answer to them. Our treaty with Canada states they can only ask if it’s bussiness or pleasure.
Just say no! then it’s up to border agent to "sense" if telling truth..or not. Besides it’s ok to lie, when the questions are insane.
Could’ve get me into that country at the point of a gun because… ur apt to end up at the point of a gun. 🇨🇦
So no more NBA games …
I have no desire to ever enter the US again. To me it is a lawless society with everyone packing guns. I will stay in Canada, the best country in the world.
Wonder if it affects a Dutch also than maybe we shouldn’t allow Americans in our coffeeshops
Confused how the US government allows its own citizens to invest in Canadian weed stocks but they won’t allow canadians that invest in Canadian weed stocks to enter the US? If I’m missing something here let me know I’m baffled at this still
So does this mean that Trudeau can’t enter the US? Since he had a part in legalizing it?
How do they handle Uruguay? In Uruguay, weed is legal to possess, sell, cultivate and transport.
This makes no sense. Pot is legal in the US in alot of states.
#dontworryeloncanadawillhaveyou ha ha ha
cbc is trash!
Stay out you potheads
It’s so funny to see what some people write here. I think we should build a wall to keep Americans out. Make them pay for it. And let’s be honest, liberal and conservative governments alike don’t do enough to protect our borders.
GIVEM PEE. TEST
WOW Tariffs on cannabis!! WTF
Its not a country I care to visit anyway. I hope I live to see the day the US dollar no longer being the world reserve currency.
So….. literally a case of ‘Just say NO’. Got it, problem solved.
U S A all ready doing what they want what one more rules they will be less people traveling to u S less work border agents so be it one more thing now every one makeing morales where every going to go
Seems to me the Canadian government has put little to no effort into legalization
Im an american that wat hes candian news is that weird?
Haven’t crossed into their country for 30 years why would I want to cross now.
Screw them.
We’ll take all the tourism dollars from the Americans that want to smoke weed. No problem.
Why would anybody want to come here right now? Wait until Trump is impeached.
It is insane to ban someone for investing in a legal product in their country.
Time for my generation to wake up and prosecute then execute the corporate criminal slime we call leaders worldwide… time to execute the disgusting oxygen wasting slime….TIME FOR A REPUBLIC OF CANADA
If I was someone barred from the U.S I would use the fact that Justin Trudeau has also admitted to doing it in the past and he’s not banned as a defence. Justin Bieber also. Hey maybe you just have to be called Justin to get off. 😂
They have the right to ban you for smiling at them.
They can just deny you entry, the US is a foreign country.
What a shame. we could have worked with and developed a stronger industry with the states where pot is legal.
This is precisely why Trump and his supporters must go!!!!!
So you actually think a US border guard is going to investigate to see what your investments are, and if you have stocks in marijuana? This is a ridiculous hypothetical.
We’re gonna give you limeys a urine drug test before you enter. Get ready to pee in a bottle
Their country, their rules. RESPECT THE LAW!!!
My question is how is the US going to prove that you smoke pot or invest in pot in order to keep Canadians out. What about other countries that weed is legal in. Discrimination against Canadians it seems like.
I wonder if the teachers pension fund is invested. That’s a lot of blocked people.
Jeez they didn’t say banned- The spokesperson said "may" affect admissibility. Stop this BS fear mongering. You are now as bad as BNN (and their fear spewing lawyer) and one might conclude it is deliberate to manipulate stock prices. Further talks needed- yes. Quit your job and drop your investments…NO
Welcome to the new fascist US.
So what happens if a Canadian crosses the border to a state that has legalized Cannabis?
The U.S. should ban all CBC employees. They are hateful filth.
So, if I invested in a Canadian pot company and then went to Canada on a trip I could potentially be kept from getting back into the US? Yay! A way to move to Canada!
Simple, don’t go to the US.
Can they please send Elon musk to Canada while they at it . He puffed weed too . !!
I’m never visiting the US again. Problem solved.
not worried, wait a year when the tax money starts pouring in from cannibas, we can get wealthy and keep the wealth here then, well, minds might change.

This will change when POTUS Trump legalizes cannabis on a federal level in the US.
Minds will be blown.;)
oh well no USA for some then thanks Trump
Fun. Canada should apply the same measures against US gun owners and manufacturers.
