Cannabis is a Schedule I drug under the federal Controlled Substances Act of 1970. The use, sale, and possession of all forms of cannabis in the United States is illegal under federal law. Involvement in the legal cannabis industry in Canada could result in your being denied entry. The carnet holder takes full responsibility for any issues that may arise at any border due to the nature of their visit, the nature of their investments, and for any prior and current personal use of cannabis and its derivative products.
