Why is that?

Its fairly easy to drop in a US embassy and renounce your citizenship if embarrassed.

It would never happen, Ralph. Look at how many people promised to leave a couple of years ago but are still here.

and this

so just don't answer

and it's not just the US... 'The Canadian government has warned citizens on its website that legal cannabis use could still cause problems when traveling abroad. “Cannabis is illegal in most countries,” the website said. “Previous use of cannabis, or any other substance prohibited by local law, could result in a traveler being denied entry to their destination country.”'

so... grain of salt, despite the attempt at humor

Yes it works in both directions. In Canada, US citizens can for example be in big trouble if they try to carry a gun in. In CAnada therE is a TV series called Border Patrol on NatGeo. Not sure if it is carried in the US, but it shows what can happen trying to enter Canada. Very useful, you get tips on how to smuggle successfully, LOL.

I remember one guy in Mexico, whose wife had to drive their RV across the US each year, because he got caught with pot at 18 years old. he was a successful 70 year old businessman, but still unable to enter the US. Both my step son and his wife have drug convictions. He is banned, she is not. She is status Indian. so cannot be banned.

That is true for the US. Here is a link for more information:

It may be worth mentioning that the "border zone" legally extends 100 miles in from each border and coast. It is not just at the border.

Never been to Canada so have no clue..........do Canadian Border Agents ask same type of questions of US citizens crossing?
I have heard about DUIs causing issues....but I have never had a DUI

Have crossed into Mexico MANY MANY times and only questions asked where 'how many shotgun shells do you have'....25 (1 box each) was all that was allowed.
