Recreational cannabis is now legal in Canada... to a point. Here are some ground rules:
Adults of at least 18 years old will be allowed to carry and share up to 30 grams of legal marijuana in public, according to a bill that passed the Senate in June. They will also be allowed to cultivate up to four plants in their households and make products such as edibles for personal use.
[...] The supply of recreational marijuana could be limited, at least early on, in some stores. Officials in Nova Scotia and Manitoba said they won't have a large selection, at least not on the first day, CNN affiliate CBC News reported. [...] Marijuana will not be sold in the same location as alcohol or tobacco. Consumers are expected to purchase the drug from retailers regulated by provinces and territories or from federally licensed producers when those options are not available.
[...] Authorities will soon announce plans to pardon Canadians who have been convicted with possession of 30 grams or less of marijuana, CNN partner CTV reported. The production, distribution or sale of cannabis products will still be an offense for minors.

Documented smokers? WTF documents this stuff? And, WTF is admitting to the document makers that they smoke? I won't admit to any government creature that I even breathe, let alone doing something of questionable legal legitimacy.

All it takes is one person you know posting a picture of you having a pinner for dinner, and the CBP people have you bent over a barrel. Lying to customs officers is about as wise as snacking on strychnine.

The lawyers up here are advising to just to refuse to answer. You get refused entry that day and can try another day. The problem is people who think because it is legal, it is OK to admit it. If you lie and get caught out, that is also a reason for a permanent ban. Been lots of warnings about taking it south as well.
