Wait until October 17, 2018, and see if anything changes.
Canada becomes a "pot friendly" country on that date, and I would imagine CBP will be ramping up the border crossing scrutiny even higher.
As a matter of fact, we crossed from Ontario to Michigan about 3 weeks ago, in the Nexus lane, and every car going through was run by a sniffer dog, for reasons unknown. They even opened the tailgate and let the dog jump in. I decided not to ask, and we had no problems, nor did anyone else ahead of us that we saw. My best guess was, they're getting the anti-cannabis technology in place, or at least trying it out in practice, before that date.
We were concerned that CBSA might start to enforce our silly "Countermeasures in Response to Unjustified Tariffs on Canadian Steel and Aluminum Products" (seriously, that's what our Liberal government calls it:R) when we returned to Canada, but it was business as usual.
Time will tell, on that one, I suppose.
I wonder why the weed is such a big deal,its not even adictive like tobacco for example..
and long time back it was grown freely all over the US and used for many products,ropes,fabric etc..
Henry Ford even made a car body from canabis

Protectionist Tarrifs are the worst thing the president can do,,it doesnt work,on the contrary it will slow down trade and economy and make more people lose jobs..
And since Canada is the Largest customer of US products,tarrifs will hurt US more..
Those who dont know history...
