Goes both ways I believe. Any criminal record in Canada (DUI included) you can't go to the states.
How legalization can change Canada U.S. Relations.

The fishing is amazing in some spots. I know a friend of mine here can appy for a waiver/ pass to go to the states but they are very expensive. Or getting the charges expunged works in Canada, depending on the charge.

A Canadian DUI is not grounds alone for being denied entry to the US. The US is much more tolerable to DUI convictions (usually considered misdemeanours) than Canada is. Cannabis convictions (or other criminal convictions) are a completely different story tho.

If you're going to cross and are at all concerned, I highly recommend talking to a lawyer with experience in doing US entry waivers. Even if you're not going to apply for a waiver, they can give you advice on how much chance there is of you being denied.
The border is more or less the wild west, and you're completely at the mercy of whichever agent you get crossing to the US. You can be penalized for lying, and there's all kind of shady business with what the US has access to, what is actually contained in your RCMP CPIC file, etc. There was a woman who blogged about mental illness, and was denied at the border because they had a file on her due to that, and had to get a letter from one of only 3 doctors in Canada that she wasn't a danger to others etc.

Trump is the best. Wait and see. Once he realizes the easiest and best way to make
America great again is to legalize marijuana at the federal level he will go down as the greatest president ever.
We pray. Ahmen.

And if he doesn't legalize and instead tries to shut down legal states? Is he still "the best" ?
"he will go down as the greatest president ever." HaHaHaHa...The world is already laughing at the mess your country is in and the comedy show hasn't started yet.

I'm sure the scenery is amazing, I've seen pictures. It's all the other bullshit that goes on down there that makes me want to avoid it. It's safer and easier to stay home! My anxiety level goes up thinking about it!
The scenery's not too bad around here, either. I live on a small island off the west coast...I call it paradise, but it's what you know, I guess.

Should be interesting to see the changes in border services attitudes once Trump gets in. I'm back & forth all the time and have never had an issue but I have no criminal record and unlike my youngest idiotic brother, if they ask the question about having smoked MJ, the answer is always no. My brother has to get a visa every time he want to get across and pay some stupid fee. It's just a money grab and why would anyone admit it to some border guard who has no business asking the question in the first place?
The trick with crossing the border is to stay calm and answer whatever they ask confidently and succinctly, answer only what they ask, don't ramble on or add commentary. Many times they'll ask the same question more than once and it's likely to see how you respond, don't get snippy with them, just answer the question (ideally with the same answer you gave them the first time - lol).
