中国真的会增加购买美国大麻吗？没有保证

《美墨加协定》与大麻贸易

Border Woes: Transporting CBD into Canada is Not OK
In a recent tweet, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) reminded us that transporting CBD oil into Canada remains illegal. While in most places south of the 49th parallel what CBSA has to say is of little consequence, it certainly matters here in Washington State, where you’re never too far away from the Canadian border.
国际大麻：触犯法律，保持诚实
Yesterday, I came across an article in this week’s Economist titled Going to Pot (*sigh*).
