https://globalnews.ca/news/4536509/u-s-wont-ban-canadian-pot-workers/

phew

as a canadian pot worker going to blizzcon in a few weeks, i was legitimately concerned about this ban


So I posted this in the last topic

i'm actually curious, how do americans generally view the fact that cannabis is legal in Canada next week?

Brief background on me: I'm an accountant for a large chain of liquor stores in Canada. With marijuana legalization happening, it seemed obvious to us to expand into that market as the regulations are very similar and we already have relationships with the government agencies that will be controlling the market.

We've actually had a lot of red tape issues with the US Government being rather hostile to companies associating with the business, as it's viewed as "international criminal activity". My company has holdings in US liquor companies, so there's issues with us moving money between our operations. If we take money from our US operations, they see it as "funding international criminal activity". If we move money down, then those operations are now "funded by international criminal activity." And we've had issues working with big vendors like banks that don't want to work with us because they are worried about getting heat from the US government too.

And then there's been this thing where we could get banned or even detained when entering the US because of our ties to cannabis.

So how does the average American view this stuff? Do you guys think it's weird Canada is legalizing weed? Do you see the companies in that industry as criminals? Am I the bad guy?

I'm sure a lot of people here are pro legalization, but I know there's some staunch anti weed legalization advocates around here like Sephg.
