Immigration Inadmissibility, Legal Ethics and Marijuana
In Immigration Inadmissibility, Legal Ethics and Marijuana, Cyrus Mehta considers the following question:
[A] conflict between federal and state law [on the lawfulness of marijuana] creates a curious anomaly for the foreign national who wishes to enter the United States either as a temporary visitor or as a temporary resident. If a foreign national wishes to invest in a marijuana business in a state where it is legal, and even endeavor to obtain an E-2 investor visa, this person would likely be rendered inadmissible under federal statutory immigration provisions.
