Hi,
I've got a mate wanting to come and visit me in the US in October.
5 years ago he was stopped by the police when driving his car, he'd smoked cannabis and was arrested. He then went to a magistrates court where he was fined and had his licence taken off him for a year.
Is he ok to enter the country or does he need to get a visitors visa?

Here is the form that he would have to fill out on the plane

TBH, I would contact the US embassy before booking the flights....refer to the second page of the form, about half way down.

And they will almost definitely say that he needs to have a visa.
