That means people wanting to enter the U.S. on visas or green cards, or who don't want to get deported need to think about their choices. There is a narrow waiver under INA 212 (H) for very small amounts of marijuana but its not a process you should want to go through. Until marijuana is federally decriminalized, or a person becomes a U.S. citizen the better choice is to avoid marijuana. New episodes all the time - please subscribe!
