U.S. border guards seized more than 2,000 kilograms the year after legalization

According to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, border officers seized 2,214 kilograms of cannabis between Nov. 1, 2018, and Oct. 13, 2019. That is nearly double the 1,259 kilograms seized in the same period the year prior.
Canada legalized cannabis on Oct. 17, 2018, while the drug remains illegal federally in the U.S.
According to a CPB spokesperson, although the agency “recognizes an increase in marijuana seizures and incidents, seizures and incidents normally vary from year to year.”
