PURPOSE OF YOUR VISIT, SIR?

The problem if Canada decriminalizes marijuana will not be stiffer checks
for Canadians trying to get into the United States. Rather, it will be the
delays caused by hoards of Americans fleeing their country's lunatic drug
war for a weekend in a civilized country.

Some Americans may be a little buzzed when they are heading back and are
asked: "Where you from?" or "Purpose of your stay in Canada?" They may take
a little longer than usual to answer. Say, 10 minutes a question to allow
for giggle and paranoia time.

We might think about installing a special mellow lane for our returning
American friends.
