Field Report: Medical Marijuana Patients Are Not Criminals at Ports of Entry

By Cannabis Across Borders:

CAB with Canada's Princess of Pot
Mrs. Jodie Emery - August 2014

The World Health Organization was right about Cannabis not being a dangerous drug. Therefore at ports of entry we are not criminals because use of Cannabis is a humanitarian right as defined by international treaties law.  As the Year 2019 progresses, things seem to be improving regarding international medical marijuana patients at ports of entry into Canada.





5 years after the US Drug Enforcement Agency arrested a Canadian citizen by the name of Marc Scott Emery, imprisoned him for 5 years and deported via the Detroit/Windsor Tunnel for Marijuana Crimes, New Canadian law for has been established for users of cannabis as their medicine. Persons entering Canada with a valid Medical Marijuana card from another country will not be subject to arrests or fines if the person:

1. Declares their Medical Marijuana Card to border officers
2. Posses 8 grams or less of cannabis

If are selected to go to secondary inspection and, you have ANY amount in your possession, then you must turn it in to Canadian Border Security Agency officers. By declaring your card you are protected under international law and you will not be arrested, strip searched, or fined.  Then you will be allowed access into Canada and back. Anything over that amount will get you arrested fined and refused entry into the country. YOU WILL NOT GET YOUR MEDICINE BACK!

Returning Citizen Marc Emery from 5 years of imprisonment
for Marijuana Crimes of selling seeds.

This is a major change in policy from the Canadian government on the treatment of American Medical Marijuana patients at ports of entry into Canada. Prime Minister Trudeau is to be commended for taking such bold action on implementing sensible cannabis policy.  We hope that Canadian citizens who are medical patients are given the same treatment when they come to the United States. As a favor we hope the Trudeau Government will have storage lockers for patients who mistakenly bring their Canada so that when you return home to Detroit, you can retrieve your medicine at the Duty Free before you leave the country. This man deserves re-election because we don't need another Donald Trump in the great white north. Anybody in Washington D.C. wanting to start a war with Canadians is a damn fool.

Canada says YES to Canabis

With regards to military service, the Canadian Government takes care of their veterans by subsidizing their Cannabis use to treat the PTSD effects of military service.  When it comes to Unions, the Laborers International Union of North America have successfully negotiated treatment for Medical Marijuana into their collective bargaining agreements to fight the Opioid crisis.  Nationwide Canada is doing well with their national legalization effort despite what you hear from their citizens. As in America, home grown Cannabis is better that the Government brand and, if you are a good grower, your products will reflect your work. 

Mexico says YES to Cannabis!

While Mexico has legalized the use of recreational cannabis nationwide the United States of America is dragging its feet and wants to take the world with them. Suppressing the vote at the UN by continually postponing it because the FDA needs more time to "figure things out" is a international embarrassment to democracy. The executive leadership of the United States of America must cease and desist their policy of procedural insubordination through executive orders and de-legislation by stepping up to the plate and amending the International Treaty as recommended by the World Health Organization. 

America, c'mon man!
We the People agreed,
 that the weed shall be freed

Meanwhile, Cannabis Across Borders is wishing everyone a Happy 420 day.  Do not eat too many medibles, make sure to visit both sides of the river and, with continued pressure from citizens on both sides of the border victory will be complete and the weed will truly be freed.






Yes Indeed.

Reforming Marijuana Laws at Ports Of Entry between US and Canada in the new NAFTA/USMOC with Amendments

By Cannabis Across Borders


If you are a Medical Marijuana patient and travel between Windsor and Detroit, your human right to medicine is being violated with fines and arrests by Canadian and American Border Security. In the new NAFTA/USMOC agreement, a 70 gram personal use exemption certificate for a minimum amount of $20 dollars would create revenue to pay for new bridge work on the Detroit River.  This will allow patients safe access to their medicine and, pay off the construction and maintenance debt for new  Ambassador and Gordie Howe Bridge spans.  The debt would be paid for in 10 years instead of current 30 year plan. 





The time to end the harassment at ports of entry for Medical Marijuana patients is now for citizens of Canada and United States. Legislators on both sides of the border must add amendments to current and future NAFTA/USMOC agreements to codify the 70 gram personal use exemption rule at all ports of entry.

At a global level, member nations of the Commission on Narcotics and Drugs must man up, woman up, get up and vote YES on the  recommendation of the World Health Organization to remove Cannabis from the controlled substances list.  

This will allow research on Cannabis including CBD oils and products like cement, fuel, environmental cleanup and, other needs. However, at the request of the FDA, the vote has been delayed over 4 times because of more time needed to do research. The employers of the FDA are directing you to accept the findings of the WHO at the next scheduled meeting or, by twitter using President Donald Trump's Twitter account.

With one tweet we can end the discrimination and persecution of Medical Marijuana patients at ports of entry. Therefore the time is now for the FDA and United States representatives at the United Nations (Tweet to @un) to get their tweet together, vote YES TO CANNABIS, and move on.

US Rep Brenda Lawrence (D-Detroit)

As of this writing, the current United States Attorney General William Barr leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to Marijuana Reform.  He is another Bill Schuette in a suit but, the overwhelming approval of Marijuana legalization in 30 out of 52 states is forcing this gentleman to reconsider his attitude towards the plant. He is now forced to accept the Federal Marijuana States Act HR420 that addresses the reality of the people to legalize the plant from GOD.

Website: World Health Organization Recommends Decrim for Cannabis 2019

In the video below, he expresses his hate and, would love to put every marijuana user in jail just like the good old days of John Ashcroft and, Harry Anslinger. However you can see in his rant against the plant, he is conceding defeat.  Regardless of what he is saying about supporting the people, do not trust him as long as he is occupying the Office of the Attorney General of the United States of America or the top cop in charge.

All Road Politics are local

To address the neighborhood quality of life issue, one of the projects we sponsor is the Fix This Damn Road fundraiser supported by a gofundme page named yesweedcan. This effort was created to help repair the damage from the wear and tear from the heavy traffic use by trucks at Davison and I-75 freeway, located in zip code 48203 and 48212 (Highland Park/Detroit Michigan). 

Building Bridges With Cannabis/Hemp/Weed

With an initial goal of raising $2 Million dollars, this money will be exclusively used to fix that part of the road for at least 30 to 40 years. With matching investments from the trucking industry, this problem with be solved in 2 to 4 years creating jobs and lowering auto insurance rates We are confident in raising funds for the effort because hempcrete will help create jobs, build bridges, and fix roads.

Furthermore, if someone can raise money for a border wall, we can do much better by out raising their dollar amount to finance the work on two bridges over the Detroit River, a tunnel under the river and, road repair at the Davison and I-75 interchange located in zip codes 48203 and 48212.  When used properly Hempcrete grown in Michigan will be the primary source of construction material to get the job done.

Border Security means protecting American Medical Marijuana patients at ports of entry into Canada. We hope that lawmakers on both sides of the river rise up and agree to support humanitarian justice at ports of entry into Canada and Mexico granting safe access to medicine for Domestic and International Medical Marijuana patients.  The time is NOW to tear down that wall of oppression against the plant from GOD that was made for your Bod..

Building A Bridge of Unity With Cannabis Reform on 4/20/2019

By Cannabis Across Borders

"The City of Detroit shall not be a point of no return for "Marijuana Crimes" against the United States of America"  - Cannabis Across Borders

On April 18, 19, and 20th the first legal cross-border celebration of Cannabis will occur on the Detroit River.  Starting with a 3 day festival in Windsor Canada all the way to Detroit Michigan and back, people will have the opportunity to sample each others products. If you have a passport, enhanced ID and, no marijuana in your possession, you can freely go back and forth on the tunnel or the bridge. If you have a boat, good for you too! Upon entry into Canada, you must declare your medicine at customs and give it to them instead of getting arrested for drug possession.

The historic Detroit River was the goal line when it came to escaping from slavery. People swam and walked over ice flows to freedom. It is a popular spot for deportation of immigrants and cannabis criminals like Canadian Marc Scott Emery. Now it represents the future of North America in fighting the war on opioids with 2 new bridges, Cannabis and, a tunnel.

With a change in policy, people will be able to posses their medicine at ports of entry without arrest, fines, or conviction. Instead of a wall of division and prisons, we can build bridges of inclusion, with no delusion, ending the war on Cannabis at all ports of entry into Canada. 

Now is the time to petition Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to stop arresting American medical marijuana patients at ports of entry into Canada on humanitarian grounds. At the same time we must lift all penalties for international travel by expunging all marijuana crimes of Canadian citizens entering the United States of America. Especially Marc Emery because he was kicked out of America through the Detroit/Windsor Tunnel like Dolemite from San Antonio Texas with $150 dollars in cash, a new pair of Nike shoes, and a gourmet meal in handcuffs. American citizens like Charlo Greene of Alaska, would not be arrested and strip searched at Canadian Ports of Entry.  

One Day There Will Be, BC Bud at the Duty Free
Canadian Prime Minster Justin Trudeau

We applaud Canadian union Laborers International Union of North America Local 625 (www.liuna625.ca) for writing medical marijuana into their bargaining agreement to fight the nationwide Opoid epidemic. 

If you feel that you are going to get stopped at Canadian ports of entry you must declare that you are a medical marijuana patient at the customs booth. Your medicine will be confiscated and you will be allowed entry. Another benefit of declaration is that if thought you cleaned out your car and they find a roach, depending on the Border Security Officer's mood at the time, you will not be arrested, strip searched, fined and sent back to Detroit. 

Website: Instructions for Declaring Med. Marijuana at Ports of Entry into Canada

Instead of fines and deportation, a duty tax of $20 declared at customs will help the State of Michigan pay off the loan for the new Gordie Howe Bridge. This will settle out of court the compensation to the owners for the new Ambassador Bridge re-construction with a rail line, foot traffic and bike lanes. The USA and Singapore must quit dragging their feet at the United Nations by continuing to postpone the recommendations of the World Health Organization on rescheduling cannabis from a drug with no medical use to a medicine and a manufacturing product.

We the People have told you all, to Free The Weed and, F- the Wall!
(Where "F-" is a variable in the statement)
Time to quit the BS at the United Nations in Vienna and Vote YES for Cannabis

Otherwise, these products belong at the duty free shops at Detroit/Windsor Tunnel and Ambassador Bridge because, the majority of the citizens on both sides of the Detroit River accept the use of Marijuana as a medicine. 

Therefore the members of Cannabis Across Borders are requesting of the Canadian Government a 70 Gram limit of declared medicine at customs subject to duty tax of no more than $20 on the Ambassador Bridge and Detroit/Windsor Tunnel.

UN Commission on Narcotics and Drugs Punk Out On The Cannabis Vote

By Cannabis Across Borders

On Monday March 18^th, 2019 in Vienna Austria, the United Nations Commission on Narcotics and Drugs decided to kick the can down the road by agreeing not to vote on recommendations by the World Health Organization to decriminalize medical use, possession, and manufacturing of products made from the Cannabis plant.

The vote was rescheduled with the support of the delegates led by the United States, Singapore, Russia. The official reason is that the International Narcotics Control Board needs more time to figure things out. With strong objections by delegates from Uruguay, Canada, Mexico, Israel and, other nations in support of the change, the actual reasons are the interest groups like big pharma and, for profit jails  who want to continue status quo, have excessive influence on the process.

While youth and law enforcement officials are being injured and killed on Fentanyl worldwide, this and other opioids are freely accepted at ports of entry. The same excuses of youth exposure and a threat to society brought by the opposition, seem overwhelmingly contrary to the evidence provided by medical professionals on the benefits of Cannabis. Now that the vote has been delayed AGAIN, the time is now to get the delegates to amend the documentation to include a 70 gram personal use exemption at ports of entry for member nations who’s citizens use Marijuana as their medicine.

Stop the delay at the FDA!

As for recreational use in member nations, cannabis products should be available at duty free retail shops at ports of entry. In the INCB documentation they talk about how US States like Colorado, Alaska, Michigan and others are poorly regulating Cannabis use and sales. This despite the fact that states like Michigan made millions from Cannabis business transactions.  There was no respect given to member states like Uruguay who went recreational like Canada. Delegates from China, United States, Russia and Singapore who are clinging to the Harry Anslinger theology of reefer madness shut down the entire process with procedural rules to extend the voting for an additional 3 months. This is the second and third time that this group has done this at this conference.  

@CND_tweets unanimously adopts procedural decision to postpone the consideration of @WHO cannabis-related recommendations, to provide MS with more time to consider the recommendations @UNODC @UN_Vienna #CND2019 #CND62 pic.twitter.com/22HKADFQub

— CND (@CND_tweets) March 19, 2019

The INCB can run but they cannot hide from the inevitable truth. The WHO has said they were sorry and, we want to make up to the mis-information that was previously reported about Cannabis related products. Border security means allowing medical patients who use Cannabis all rights and privileges as a human right of declaration of medicine at ports of entry.   Duty taxes if any should not excessive to a point of harming low to moderate income individuals. Citizens in member nations must allow foreign nationals legal redress in their respective courts of law and promote commerce and trade with cannabis imported and exported between member nations.

Citizens Want Cannabis in America

Therefore, citizens in member nations must elect and employ elected officials who have their best interests at heart. Especially in nations like Canada, Uruguay, Mexico, and others in the world that want to finally put and end to this international war on the cannabis plant. Because by the next conference in Vienna at #CND2020 and #CND63, a vote must be taken in the affirmative to atone for the lies and fake news being spread about Cannabis.

Urgent Message for International and Domestic Medical Marijuana Patients at Ports of Entry

By Cannabis Across Borders


It is the position of the United States of America to oppose the recommendation of the World Health Organization regarding the re-scheduling of Cannabis products at the United Nations before the Commission of Narcotics and Drugs on Monday March 18th, 2019 in Vienna Austria.  This is contrary to the popular vote of American Citizens in 30 states and, the passage of the Farm Act law by congress in 2018. 

Border Security means protecting patients at ports of entry...

Your voice is needed to tell your representative at the United Nations about how you feel that the United States of America should vote YES on all recommendations by the World Health Organization to reschedule Cannabis including plants and extracts.  This vote will direct the legislators in Washington DC to remove Cannabis from the Controlled Substances Act by making House Resolution 420 the law.

The Official Position of the United States of America regarding Cannabis 

At this time, it is uncertain whether the above notification from WHO of recommendations for proposed scheduling action on cannabis and cannabis related substances will be acted upon by 62nd session of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs (from 14 to 22 March 2019). The Bureau of the 62nd Commission is currently considering whether to postpone voting on the cannabis-related recommendations until the reconvened meeting in December, or the 63rd session of the Commission on Narcotic Drugs, March 2020. If voting is deferred to a later date the comment period will be reopened.

Although WHO has made specific scheduling recommendations for each of the drug substances, the CND is not obliged to follow the WHO recommendations. Options available to the CND for substances considered for control under the 1971 Psychotropic Convention include the following: (1) Accept the WHO recommendations; (2) accept the recommendations to control but control the drug substance in a schedule other than that recommended; or (3) reject the recommendations entirely.

Cannabis, also known as marijuana, is a plant known by biological names Cannabis sativa or Cannabis indica. It is a complex plant containing multiple cannabinoids and other compounds, including the psychoactive substance THC and other structurally similar compounds. Cannabinoids are defined as having activity at cannabinoid 1 and 2 (CB1 and CB2, respectively) receptors. Agonists of CB1 receptors are widely abused and are known to modulate motor coordination, memory processing, pain, and inflammation, and have anxiolytic effects. Marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug in the United States.

The principal cannabinoids in the cannabis plant include THC, CBD, and cannabinol. These substances are controlled in Schedule I under the CSA. The synthetically derived single pure stereoisomer, delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (also known as dronabinol) is the active ingredient in two approved drug products in the United States, MARINOL (dronabinol) capsules, also available as a generic, and SYNDROS (dronabinol) oral solution. MARINOL is controlled in Schedule III, while SYNDROS is controlled in Schedule II under the CSA. Both MARINOL and SYNDROS are approved to treat anorexia associated with weight loss in patients with AIDS, and nausea and vomiting associated with cancer chemotherapy in patients who have failed to respond adequately to conventional treatment.

CBD is another cannabinoid constituent of the cannabis plant. In the United States, one CBD-containing product, Epidiolex oral solution, has received marketing approval by the FDA for the treatment of seizures associated with two rare and severe forms of epilepsy, Lennox-Gastaut syndrome and Dravet syndrome, in patients 2 years of age and older. On September 28, 2018, the Drug Enforcement Administration placed FDA-approved product Epidiolex to be marketed into Schedule V of the CSA. Currently, CBD that is not contained in an FDA-approved product with less than 0.1 percent THC is controlled as a Schedule I substance under the CSA. CBD is not specifically listed in the schedules of the 1961, 1971, or 1988 International Drug Control conventions.

FDA, on behalf of the Secretary of HHS, invites interested persons to submit comments on the notifications from the United Nations concerning these drug substances. FDA, in cooperation with the National Institute on Drug Abuse, will consider the comments on behalf of HHS in evaluating the WHO scheduling recommendations. Then, under section 201(d)(2)(B) of the CSA, HHS will recommend to the Secretary of State what position the United States should take when voting on the recommendations for control of substances under the 1971 Psychotropic Convention at the CND meeting in March 2019.

Comments regarding the WHO recommendations for control of Cannabis and Cannabis Resin; Dronabinol (delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol); Tetrahydrocannabinol (Isomers of delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol); Extracts and Tinctures of cannabis; Cannabidiol Preparations; Preparations Produced Either by Chemical Synthesis or as Preparation of Cannabis; under the 1961 Single Convention will also be forwarded to the relevant Agencies for consideration in developing the U.S. position regarding narcotic substances at the CND meeting.

Dated: February 25, 2019.

Acting Associate Commissioner for Policy.

Cannabis Across Borders Supports Breaking Treaties at Ports of Entry. Take it to the Ambassador Bridge

By Cannabis Across Borders

Now is the time to contact your international representative at the United Nations regarding Medical Marijuana at international ports of entry. On March 14 through 22 the 62nd convention of the Commission on Narcotics and Drugs will be meeting in Vienna Austria. One of the topics will be to reclassify Marijuana worldwide. The commission is composed of a 53 member nation board to vote on proposals made by the World Health Organization, after admitting that they were wrong about Marijuana.

Let Weedom Ring!

The new international classification for Marijuana will stop all arrests, fines, and convictions of patients at ports of entry.  By breaking this treaty  medical marijuana patients would be allowed to possess up to 2.5 ounces (70 grams) of medicine for personal without arrest, fines, or deportation. This is the only treaty that we can break and no one will get arrested at the Ambassador Bridge or Tunnel.
   






Now that Federal Farm Act, Mexico, Canada and, over 30 US States have passed some type of marijuana reform law the time for change is now. Therefore you must call your international representative today, tomorrow, and the next day after that and tell them to adapt the resolutions!

In state and local news, the 2019 Michigan Democratic Spring Convention was a success in electing pro-cannabis friendly candidates. As a result of voting in November 2018, Michigan  Attorney General Dana Nessel has already dismissed over 100 marijuana cases that were inspired by the Bill Schuette anti weed Jihad movement.  Attorney General Nessel is supporting the Affordable Care Act in federal court and, removing all barriers to employment with the State of Michigan for anyone who uses marijuana as their medicine in possession of a Michigan Medical Marijuana Card that will include your picture.

John Sinclair

Currently the State of Michigan is a defendant in a lawsuit brought by Mr. John Sinclair regarding Marijuana being classified as a Schedule I drug with no medical value.  Attorney General Nessel has the option of joining the lawsuit as a plaintiff, similar to what Judge Robert Colombo did in the late evening in January 2018 to the voters in Detroit Michigan, invalidating election results of a marijuana ballot initiative, after supporting the right to place the issue in the November 2017 general ballot.  A default judgment in favor of the plaintiff will send a signal to all 435 US House of Representatives in Washington DC to support HR 420 removing Marijuana from the Controlled Substances Act.



Facing organized opposition, certain cities and townships have chosen to ban facilities in their community through zoning restrictions. These elected officials who choose to subvert the will of the voters may be recalled and replaced by people who support marijuana businesses despite the restrictions. Examples are townships like Royal Oak Michigan where Proposal 1 passed by a 2 to one margin, elected officials who oppose business may be removed from office through the recall process.

To change any zoning requirement in the State of Michigan, a protest petition must be filed and approved by 20% of the land owners in a city or township. With the passage of Proposal 1, this is the proper procedure to follow to change any zoning restriction. Townships like Sumpter, Royal Oak, and cities like Highland Park will be able to establish zoning regulations for their municipalities.

The cana-economy is here to stay and the question remains what to do with it. Removal of pre-employment drug testing for Marijuana in Michigan will remove the last vestiges of Harry Anslinger from our workplaces. Serving the public will become much more user friendly when you have more people working as elected officials, teachers, civil servants, lawyers, fire fighters, police, and information technology professionals. There will be more people working and creating products from the cannabis plant while helping the environment at the same time.
