I currently live in Canada where possesion and use of MJ are not enforced with any regularity. I am a light user (7 grams ever 3-4 months). And I never carry more then a joint, or a few bowls for my vaporizer on me.

I am moving to St. Paul Minnesota and I was wondering what the enforcement was like there. According to NORML's website, Minnesota has decriminalized MJ for personal use under 42.5 grams (I probably haven't smoked that much in my life) and if arrested I will recive a misdemeanor and a $200 fine.

My question is this. Since I am Canadian and will only have a temporary work visa, will I face any harsher punishment? And what exactly is a misdemeanor? Will it show up on a criminal record?

Thanks!
