Roundtable on Canadians, Cannabis and Entry to the U.S. - Webinar on August 22, 2018 at Noon
As of October 17th, 2018, buying, selling, possessing, using recreational cannabis and taking part in the business of selling it will be legal in Canada. How does this affect Canadians who are involved in the newly emerging cannabis space who want to visit the United States? While 9 American states have legalized cannabis for recreational use, it is still a criminal activity in the vast majority of states and under the U.S.'s Immigration and Nationality Act.
Join U.S. attorneys Jonathan Grode, Tim Golden and Evan Green for a Roundtable discussion on Canadians, Cannabis and Entry to the U.S. and we'll let you know where things stand today.
