New guidance: immigrants can be denied citizenship over marijuana, even in states where it's legal

 

News article: 

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/u-s-says-immigrants-can-be-denied-citizenship-over-marijuana-ties-even-in-states-where-its-legal/

 

“New guidance from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) — which issues green cards and citizenship — says immigrants involved in "marijuana-related activities" could be found to lack good moral character, which is required to gain citizenship. "Activities" include the possession, manufacturing, distribution or dispensing of cannabis, regardless of state laws. “

Illegal at the Federal level so not a surprise. Presumably that is not just a Marijuana issue.
