If you're coming to the U.S., don't admit drug use

Though Stephen Colbert had some fun on his August 20 program "Colbert Report," the matter of Andrew Feldmar is not funny.

Feldmar, a Vancouver-based psychotherapist, is barred from the United States for writing on the Internet that 40 some years ago, he took LSD.

Yes, Canada does have rules, such as banning those with DUI convictions from crossing the border. As we mentioned before, George W. Bush had to get a waiver to enter Canada, and has to get a waiver each time he enters Canada due to his DUI conviction.

But in those cases, a conviction is required. Feldmar has never been tried on a drug case.

Our advice is never to lie to customs. We believe in a honest process. However, you will have to decide on your own how you want to answer certain irrelevant questions that may get you denied from entering the United States.
