ANN ARBOR, MI (MPRN)-- U.S. border officials are reminding Michiganders it is still illegal to transport marijuana across the border, despite recreational cannabis being legal now in Canada.
Christopher Perry is the director of the U.S. Customs and Border Protection-Field Operations in Michigan. He says nothing is changing at any of Michigan’s border crossings into Ontario.
“The questions we asked yesterday are basically the same questions we’re going to be asking today. We generally are not asking routine questions about people’s marijuana use,” he says.
Michigan may follow Canada’s lead next month and vote to allow recreational marijuana use and possession.
But that will not change the policy at the border, which operates under federal law, which still classifies marijuana as illegal.
