This is a topic that we are starting to see continually on a daily basis. Why would anyone ever admit to smoking Marijuana to U.S. Customs & Border Protection? I think we should cover some basic background information as to why CBP will even ask this question?

Sigh....this issue keeps coming up and is getting tiring. I don't know why Canadians admit to smoking Marijuana to CBP at the U.S. borders. Ok, I will keep it simple for people by giving 2 scenarios.

Scenario #1:

A. Admit to having ever smoked Marijuana or any drug in your life to CBP at the border. The officer then tells you that you are inadmissible for drug use and to file for a waiver. You will have to file for the waiver for the rest of your life every few years. Currently, the gov't application fee is $585us and there is a long list of requirements to complete. The application could also get denied and you will not receive a refund from Homeland Security. Note that they have to meet their quota for denied entry cases, so the officers aggressively pursue these cases so they can get promotions and pay step increases.

B. You do not admit to any drug use and there is no issue nor will you have to get a waiver for drug use because there is no record of it.

NOW I DON'T WANT TO INFLUENCE WHICH DECISION YOU CHOOSE!

Scenario 2.

Ok so let us say that you wore a ski mask and just robbed the Scotia Bank in Abbotsford B.C. You just escaped in a car and absolutely no one could identify you or the car. You have literally escaped detection, and no one can tie you into the crime. Now you are driving up Hwy 1 and get stopped by Surrey RCMP for speeding. The uniformed constable asks you why you are speeding and where are you coming from. You calmly explain that you just robbed the bank in Abbotsford and need to hurry home to hide the money. You also ask him not to tell the Abbotsford PD since your crime did not occur in Surrey. So, he then places you under arrest and you have no idea why! He even tells you why, but you try to explain that the crime occurred in Abbotsford as opposed to Surrey.

People, this is the same absolute thing!  The same scenario also applies if you admit to any other crimes that you had not been arrested or charged for. Just because you admit to a criminal act in Canada does not mean that CBP will excuse it. The U.S. immigration code is written to include crimes that you were convicted of, admit to the elements or admit to committing the offence. Does not matter whether you were arrested for it or not.

The border has issued a special training pamphlet to their new officers. This pamphlet gives them guidance on how to ask you the questions to trick you into a confession and how to do sworn statements to be used against you. Luckily, we have a copy of that pamphlet and we provide it to our VIP clients.

Btw...The Washington State immigration lawyer has lost many cases but will brag that he has only lost one. I know from personal experience since he was a former friend. He tries to get as much media exposure regard Marijuana smoking cases as possible. He has difficulty applying or understanding the fine points of U.S. immigration inadmissibility law as per his own quotes. However, he does have very strong knowledge in family green card applications. I am telling you inside info in this blog that they or he will not share with you about how the system is designed and works. My specialty is U.S. inadmissibility border crossing law and that is my only focus.

So, in simple terms regarding this blog...loose lips will sink your ship. Tight lips will allow you to sail another day.

Now you may wonder why am being so helpful since we are also in the waiver business and also process cases for people that admitted to smoking Marijuana to CBP. Well, the answer is simple. We earn more money by being bluntly truthful with clients as opposed to telling them what they want to hear just to get paid. If you think about it, it is not in my best interest giving you this inside information because our firm will lose money too. The firm gets much respect and repeat business for being bluntly honest with clients.

Btw this similar scenario will apply if you already have been issued a us entry waiver. The waiver itself is only good for the particular offence that was in your application (like Fraud). Admitting to smoking Marijuana is a separate offence and could easily get your waiver revoked. Let's say that you have a waiver for 3 Fraud convictions. CBP then decides to get crafty and ask you if you have ever smoked Marijuana at any time in your life. You answer yes because you did it when you were 19 and are now 44. CBP will then revoke your waiver on the spot and tell you to go back to Canada.

If you do this then you will need a new us entry waiver www.usentrywaiverservices.com. Under the INA, when you admit to Marijuana or any other drug use, you may be deemed an addict. If you are deemed as such, you are admissible to the USA and may end up deeming yourself permanently inadmissible.

If you admit to smoking Marijuana, they may have you get a medical examination with Dr. Cheema to determine if you are an addict. He is the only doctor in B.C. that can do this examination. Also, note that the cost of this examination will come from your pocket.

CBP has broad authority under the U.S. Immigration Nationality Act to enforce American drug laws. It does not matter that you have never been charged or convicted of a criminal offence in your life. By your sheer admission means that you will now need us entry waiver. See our website for more info on this important topic. Please note by crossing the border with your medical Marijuana card will absolutely set you up for questioning with CBP.

Bottom line is that whatever you admit to will be used against you!
