Immigration Consequences of Cannabis Use | #MobilityMinute

Senior Counsel Scott Cooper discusses immigration consequences related to Cannabis use in this Mobility Minute.

While the recreational use of Cannabis has become more widely legalized across the United States, federal law continues to classify it as a controlled substance, with significant immigration-related consequences for foreign nationals who possess, use, cultivate or distribute it.

Arrests or convictions related to Cannabis use could lead to the cancellation of a visa or removal from the United States, among other punishments.
