I tend to be a bit leery of articles with the grammer displayed in the headline as well: "Warning: This Is Why Should Never Buy Marijuana With A Credit Card In Canada"

surrounding what could happen if consumer data (credit card purchase records, online ordering to a home address, etc.) ends up on servers in the United States. There’s little to stop that data from making its way to U.S. border officials, privacy experts say, which could lead to some uncomfortable questions at the border crossing. In fact, how a credit card marijuana purchase will appear on your bank statement could put you in an impossible position — admit to marijuana use and be banned for that, or deny it and be banned for lying.

I am one of those people who do not care what the states are doing at the border. The states are letting people who work in the fields in now so why would they check your credit card statement at the border?
I am really done caring about who knows what about me. I smoke pot, big deal as I could still be the raging alcoholic I once was.

This has been on several news media outlets. This was a quote from a canadian privacy expert reported on global news.

They don’t, huh?
Keep on believing while you clean the rose coloured glasses. That information is pretty easy for law enforcement to obtain. Technically it should require a warrant (often obtained over the phone, larger centres it can be done 24/7, often with very little lead time), but “professional cooperation” between the department and the CC security people
Customs is a special situation. They have a lot of latitude, and as good or better access to data like that than most Police depts. if it’s online, it can be accessed. Don’t fool yourself

If you act like an idiot at the border they will try and find a reason to write down on your rejection form.
If you are polite and normal they won’t ask.
So...again...if they ask you then something you said or done annoyed them or concerned them.
So behave.
They have the right to say no to your visiting the US.

So take you weed and header over, i am not afraid to enter with a bottle.
Just because you once drank to much doesn't mean dick to me or anyone else,same applies to your weed,hoop it,smoke it ,boil it bake it,you guys are old news for decades now .
Blaming something in your past for turning you into something is childish and hypocritical ,unless someone forced it down your throat.

This on ctv news website
Smartphones: Remove anything that could potentially associate you with cannabis. That includes, but is not limited to photos, stock tickers, credit card purchase alerts and banking apps. “Sanitize” your social media profiles. Leaving your phone at home could be seen as a red flag. Consider having a second phone for U.S. trips.

Around 300,000 people cross the northern border with Canada each day, which equates to annual approximates of 39,254,000 crossings by Canadians into the United States (in 2009) and 20,213,500 crossings by Americans into Canada (in 2010).
That's a lot of credit cards statements to check daily
I read the US is going to add the question "have you ever used cannabis" on the declaration card to fly to the US I suspect "no" would be a popular answer.
The anti cannabis hype will take a while to dissipate unless you cross the border stinking like pot or a marijuana leaf tattoo you will be fine.

Talk about paranoia for clicks, the US border patrol can reject you at the border for any reason they see fit. They don't need to check your VISA statement for a reason to deny you entry.
The article does provide some good tips regarding keeping your phone and social media clear of marijuana, albeit I'd go further to say just keep the content of your phone and social media profiles as clean and clear as possible. Do it as if at any given moment's notice you'd be required to show your grandma or boss at work what's on either.

Not sure i understand ! I repost several articles from credible news outlets and am accused of paranoid ! I have a feeling these accusers have already purchased weed online and the knee jerk reaction is to shoot the messanger. It is no harder for border security us to check your credit card purchases than for me to check whats happening on alberta outdoorsmen web forum . Must say very strange . In fact a maratime province is labeling weed purchases as liquor just for this reason .

Big brother is watching
I sincerely doubt if Homeland security has access to your credit card transactions or your bank account, credible news sources don't really exist most are based on rumours and public opinion. Between Canada and the US they would have monitor 4,000,000,000 transactions a day and for what?
The online pot sites take EMT only, its amazing how many sites there are selling 100's of different products I assume illegally without getting shutdown by big brother if he really is watching he's dropping the ball.
Some have funny names like buymyweed.com a little obvious don't you think.

Funny, i used to have no problem going south, it was always coming home that i got harassed,i have had a 5 tonne truck that i drove through an xray machine mounted off of a semi trailer truck,had German Shepherds search my work truck, i have been stripped searched, had illegal residue found on id cards(don't do this!),another time i was crossing back into Canada on September 11th early in the morning while it was still playing out,i made it across back into Canada minute's before the border's were shut down, Canada customs is no joke, if your not an illegal border jumper that is.
The American's were always more friendly and just let me in with out many question's.

Purchasing marijuana online from the Government of Alberta lists the purchase as from AGLC on your credit card statements. Not sure how specific it goes into than that, however.

Shoot that deer......a clever smile.
I love this forum. Absolutely the BEST entertainment. You guys and gals (if there ARE any girls here) are fantastic. We can go from growing weed to “would you shoot this” to Justin Trudeau to name that puppy. ......
Amen for diversity. Keep it coming
