We don’t want to visit your country anyway
Now she can come in with no effort 🙂
Who wants to go to the shooting range known as the USA?
The stupidity of government
I agree the American policy is ridiculous but they have warned us and you should do your research before crossing. It is important to respect border crossing rules even if you don’t agree with them.
The Title : "Canadian faces lifetime ban from U.S. over CBD oil"
What I see : "Canadian —— U.S. — Oil"
Well this can’t be good.
Washington is SICK! Unfortuantely, it’s pretty much constantly that way. And I feel sad for what’s done to this Cdn who’s being absurdly treated. Washington even added a damn fine to its mad nonsense. It was bad and absurd enough without the fine being added.
Just go to Weedborn if you want to heal.
CBD is…legal in all 50 states so….
This is the dumbest thing ever. Its only CBD. America’s view on harmful drugs is seriously distorted.
CBD isn’t just from marijuana. CBD can also derived from hemp, and is legal in the US when derived from hemp since the 2018 farm bill. Please do your research.
Why go to the USA at all?
Oh man. My heart goes out to her and the Canadian people. This is outrageous and myself and several others continue to fight for political change in the coming election cycles. We have so many other things to worry about over CBD oil. From 🇺🇸 ✌️ 🇨🇦
If you watch border show you would have known and it’s a border you can phone and ask.
Silliness, its not like you can get high from CBD . Makes about as much sense as banning someone for carrying A535.
What a joke. US is the biggest consumer of illegal and legal drugs in the world and they want to ban this sick ladies medication. They should loom at their own backyard.
BS!!! 😠😠😤😤 let the woman have her oil!!!Damn!! Pick your battles!!
I have never had a rough time crossing the border, just cooperate
it took my depression anxiety ptsd and mood disorder away with cbd oil … i feel very good now i highly recommend it !!!! also i can concentrate better now and feel like its helping me with digestion also and if your stress out it can help you …. i call it magic oil … the dosage i use is 1mg THC – 25mg CBD …. i use it as a spray ounce a day in the morning … you can also use it twice a day one a night …. if it dosnt help you it mean you need 2 spray instead of one
It’s a hypocrisy of dumbass policy
That gets a CMON MAN first off you are going to a state where cbd is readily available I’m sure ,so go without for three hours .second it’s an INTERNATIONALS BORDER CROSSING and you got Google at home use it Gotta have more than two brain cells to cross. You are the weakest link
Americans prefer Opiates, guarantees repeat customers!
For months we have been told and warned about this EXACT situation…..so…….
so much of the good stuff 😍
Safer in Canada anyway.
I think that the situation matters… in her situation; she used the oil to manage pain from a physical medical problem and believed it to be fine as she was traveling to somewhere where it is also legal. That’s an honest mistake and she clearly didn’t try to hide or smuggle it across the border. They should have just sent the lady back home and ask she come back another day without the oil in possession. Not bann her for life.. kind of intense.
I am fine with how the boarder portal handled the situation with the find. Government only does what the masses want in their area/country. It is up to the travelers to update on laws on where their are traveling. Well done Boarder Portal.
I just hope i don’t do the same thing or worse on my travels.
That’s fine. There are many other places I can go where my money will get me a lot further so it’s there loss really. We should all stop going there and teach them a lesson.
The laws in the United States are designed only to feed the government and big corporations money and support the dictatorship regimes American greed agenda
CBD oil is legal in all 50 states , something is fishy about this story
That’s TOTAL B.S !! Cbd oil for personal use should be allowed in small quantities.
They like banning Canadians for garden variety nonsense lately
The U.S is a separate country with separate laws.
Ignorance of the law is not a excuse.
Trump’s own polling says he’s losing in 8 of 9 swing states he won in ’16, hopefully the Dems get serious about reasonable drug policy.
does that include entry from the southern border
There are Canadians busted for a little pot or a DUI while in US in the 70s who remain under a lifetime ban to entering US. We need to clear this us w our neighbors. It’s just silly.
OMG only want you to pay the TAX in americunt…
We can be tough, just like you guys are with us.
Cant go to US? Oh well life goes on literally!
The U.S. Federal government’s position on cannabis is, and always has been a blatant bold faced lie. More evidence comes out every day proving that cannabis is much safer than alcoholic beverages or tobacco products. The DEA “drug schedule” has absolutely nothing to do with public safety and everything to do with politics and government corruption. Based on the DEA cannabis is more dangerous than Methamphetamine, Cocaine or Fentanyl!! Serial killers tobacco and alcohol are not even on the DEA drug schedule!
* SCHEDULE 1
Heroin, LSD, Marijuana (cannabis), MDA (ecstasy)
* SCHEDULE 2
Cocaine, Methamphetamine, Oxycodone, Fentanyl, Dexedrine.
* SCHEDULE 3
Tylenol with codeine, Ketamine, Anabolic steroids, Testosterone.
Enough with reefer madness, Legalize, regulate and tax recreational cannabis!
So sad to see CBD is still getting banned etc. because of uninformed people that confuse it with weed and assume that it’s drugs… CBD Oil is the future, WAY better than meds, so the big pharma industry tries to block it.
How ridiculous. Waste of time and resources. Shame.🤔🙄
Land of the free tho?
omg To think I wanted to visit the US some day in the future (from Europe). I might have to reconsider that
Who TF wants to go to the u.s anyway??
Have you ever felt sick to your stomach after taking CBD oil?
should be boycotting the US anyway. maybe if they smoked more joints they would not be shooting each other up so much.
I guess i’ll play the devils advocate here and state that if the signage states no cannabis, that means no cannabis. The thing people forget is that the US border is federally controlled, not state. Even if is is legal in Michigan (assuming the border crossing here), the gatekeepers (CBP) are federally run. I have a problem with people using the statement "I assumed ‘X’ therefore ‘Y’ is allowed" to justify their blind ignorance. As a Windsor resident who works in Michigan, I agree with the CBP that she should be banned for life. Just my $0.02.
If she needs her CBD that much and it’s not allowed in the US, then she wouldn’t want to go there anyway, so no biggie.
Why would anyone want to go to the US anyway…
