Canadian faces lifetime ban from U.S. over CBD oil
U.S. Customs and Border Protection has barred a young Canadian woman from crossing the border after cannabidiol oil was found in her backpack. CBD oil is a …
Makes sense! She should’ve asked if it was alright to bring it across and if they said no than just consume it in front of them and keep moving! It’s that she wasn’t upfront and when they caught her it pissed them off! Plain and simple!
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.
BS!!! 😠😠😤😤 let the woman have her oil!!!Damn!! Pick your battles!!
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.
Who wants to go to the shooting range known as the USA?
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.
I have never had a rough time crossing the border, just cooperate
The United States isn't so United, these days, it seems.
Not about "controlled substance" asked about "leafy greens" bait and switch Thanks Canada, liars.
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.
It works both ways. Americans can not bring any of that to Canada either. Even some of their guns get confiscated also. At the border in BC you always see Americans hauled in. Especially the ones heading to Alaska. They figure since they are only driving through and heading for USA. That they can bring this through. But it don't work that way.
This is the dumbest thing ever. Its only CBD. America's view on harmful drugs is seriously distorted.
Silliness, its not like you can get high from CBD . Makes about as much sense as banning someone for carrying A535.
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.
That's TOTAL B.S !! Cbd oil for personal use should be allowed in small quantities.
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.
That is terrible that the Border between the United States and Canada is so strict. It should be like the Californian/Oregon border with minimal restrictions.
The stupidity of government
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.
Yes?? If you bring drugs into the u.s., expect to be arrested.
For months we have been told and warned about this EXACT situation…..so…….
Cant go to US? Oh well life goes on literally!
American warmongers can invade countries to steal opium which ends up in the inner cities, but cbd oil? No way that's too much lol
The U.S is a separate country with separate laws. Ignorance of the law is not a excuse.
We can be tough, just like you guys are with us.
Why go to the USA at all?
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!
How ridiculous. Waste of time and resources. Shame.🤔🙄
It's a hypocrisy of dumbass policy
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.
