    Is there any medical marijuana card holders from Canada that cross into the states that can enlighten me on any issues pertaining to being a card holder? Specifically issues with border clearance.

    I don't have a card, but since marijuana is illegal at the federal level in the U.S. and that's who controls the international border the chances of you being detained, fingerprinted, turned around and barred from further U.S. entry for admitting to use or possessing a card is much greater. Also, regardless of any Canadian prescription, marijuana use is strictly forbidden by the FMCSA so you will be ineligible to drive a CMV in interstate transport in the U.S.

    I figured as much. I personally am not a card holder or user, but I do know a fella who recently failed a pre-employment drug test and figures he can skate around it by getting his card. I tried telling him exactly what you said prior to coming on here, but he's a stubborn prick kinda guy. Thk you sir

    And the U.S. Attorney General just affirmed that stance.

    US to end lenient policy that let legal pot flourish

    You will be arrested in possession of pot at the US Customs.

    And also Trucking here in USA is federally regulated, pot is schedule one drug which automatically BANS or BARS CDL Truck drivers from being qualified to drive.

    Many of our states still hold Pot as illegal.

    Tell Mr Stubbon Canuak that even if God had a medical pot card and better yet a bit of pot in possession he will be arrested too. Sarcasm. Don't be stupid Mr Stubborn.

    Jeff Sessions. Only matter of time before the skeletons come out of his closet to bury him
    SNL does such great sketches of Jeffy and the Grand Poobah
