Smuggling a case of beer across will result in you losing the beer. Smuggling marijuana will result in a felony and never being allowed to cross the border again.

It doesn't make sense to illegally transport marijuana across the border just so you can buy it legally from a store.

I'm saying it already happens. I grew up with people who literally smuggle weed for a living across the northern border. There are some areas where there is no actual official border[0] where smuggling is happening now. It was already comparatively easier to access in Canada then smuggle to the US, but when it's legal in Canada it will just help fuel the supply being brought over.

Personally I wouldn't try smuggling from across, taking beer and smokes across without declaration is significantly less of a risc than taking banned substances. I say this as a Canadian a few minutes from the Washington border.

Well another reason to go to Niagara Falls I guess.
