BARRED FROM THE U.S.

Re: All we can offer Janet Goodin is a sincere apology (July 30). I 
feel bad that this lady was harangued, but at the same time, having a 
medical marijuana licence, I am forbidden entry into the U.S.

One lady in B.C., who had no pot with her, had a sample of her DNA
taken by U.S. officials and was told never to try entering the country
again. She had never been charged with anything; she was being denied
entry due to a medical condition.

So as much as I sympathize with this woman, anyone crossing the
Canada-U.S. border is walking on thin ice and should expect to get
soaked.
