I stated I had used cocaine 2 weeks before the trip. The agent did tests on my laptop and found traces of cocaine. After about an hour of questioning they let me back my luggage back up and leave.

what I am wondering is am I most likely flagged and if so will it be at US customs as well or would that information only be available to CDN customs?

I'm interested in hearing some opinions on how this will effect my upcoming travels out of the country.

Thanks!

I would guess that your going to get searched every time you reenter Canada but doubt CBP would have access to that unless you were charged with a crime. On a more personal level doing coke is an extremely stupid thing to do and it will catch up to you someday just like it did with most of the yuppies who did it in the 80's...
Cheers
Howie
