Let Canada deny MJ users, and let America be a mecca for MJ users in CO and WA. American wins, Canada loses.

It's pretty clear from the facts what happened, he was young, blew a joint and got caught.
He needed to file an I-192 with CBP. I am sure if filed out the form and submitted it, he would have been allowed in no problem. I think these nickel and dime violations are stupid, but it's the law.

DWI is far more serious than pot usage. Driving drunk is treated much like the attempted murder that it is in Canada and I applaud them for it: we take drunk driving way too casually in the US.
