My buddy wasn't allowed into Canada for an intl transfer because he had a DUI a decade earlier...
Not surprised heh.
Not surprised heh.
Also completely legal, for recreational use, in 6 of the 10 US states that border Canada, and legal for medicinal use in 9 of the 10 states, Idaho being the only hold-out.
This is getting pretty silly now, no?
As such, would the US object if I took THC under prescription in an in-patient medical context in another country, and then attempted to enter?
And if they wouldn't object, then why would they suddenly object if I didn't get prescribed the THC, but rather purchased it over the counter, under advisement of a doctor? (After all, this is how most legal, OTC medications work. Doctors in outpatient settings don't prescribe you e.g. aspirin; they just tell you to "take two aspirin and call me if it doesn't feel better." They assume you can get your own aspirin without their help.)
>So it'd be weird if THC was an exception to that
As others in the thread have already mentioned, Desoxyn is schedule 2, while Cannabis is federally schedule 1 (with lower schedule number being more restricted).
So no, THC isn't an exception, it is a part of the same rule system. The one in which schedule 2 drugs have more legal privileges than schedule 1 drugs.
Plenty of substances are dual scheduled, desoxyn is just most prominent example.
Are you sure you're not getting it mixed up with MDMA or something?

(I don't agree with this, just explaining the law.)
No they're not. Desoxyn is only legal with a prescription because methamphetamine is a schedule II drug, not a schedule I drug.
There probably is some shadowy special-forces division that gets the cool stuff but I gather that even amongst the USAF's endurance fighter squadrons you won't see much stimulant use: it's too much of a liability, and the services really don't want human-liabilities piloting hundred-million-dollar supersonic death-machines.
Fun-fact: the Nazis used meth, then known as "Pervatin" - but then they also mixed it with cocaine and oxycodone and called it "D-IX" - sounds like quite the party: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-IX
...and some paid lawyers suck and will roll-over.
Price of your lawyer is a poor predictor of results in the legal system.
The best advice is to know a good lawyer before you need one - rich or poor.
Our vehicle was searched during that time as well, and about 30 minutes later they finally let all of us enter. Nice to hear we aren't the only folk who have dealt with a similar issue.
I was interrogated for 3 hours. Apparently it looks bad if you travel 12 hours to cross the border to go on a date.
This is very confusingly worded. Was the border agent trying to let your brother in law in or not?
It didn't even seem like the US govt is coordinated enough between the different states to reliably catch this.
It may be that the states are terrible at gathering information rather than reporting it.
If you lie about it they will likely ban you for even longer.
They simply ID'd us, asked us where we were heading and why, then told us to pull aside. They knew already.
Fingerprint records will come up at the border.
