Neil Young is finally a US citizen after he says his love of weed delayed application
Neil Young has officially become a "Canarican" after his citizenship application was delayed for months because he smoked weed, he said.
Young referenced an April 2019 policy addition, which states that, "An applicant who is involved in certain marijuana related activities may lack GMC (Good Moral Character) if found to have violated federal law, even if such activity is not unlawful under applicable state or foreign laws."
US Citizenship and Immigration Services told CNN in November that it could not comment on whether Young's application had been held up, citing privacy protections, but said the agency was required to make judgments on cases based on federal law.
