Neil Young is from Canada, and wants to become an American. Neil Young has smoked a lot of weed in his life. These two things have come to odds, as the classic rocker has explained on his website.

"I want to be a dual citizen and vote," Young wrote. "When I recently applied for US citizenship, I passed the test. It was a conversation where I was asked many questions. I answered them truthfully and passed. Recently however, I have been told that I must do another test, due to my use of marijuana and how some people who smoke it have exhibited a problem."
Young goes on to point out an April 2019 Policy Alert made under Attorney General Jeff Sessions that says those who smoke marijuana "may lack GMC (Good Moral Character)," even in cases where weed is legal.
"I hope I have exhibited good moral character and will be able to vote my conscience on Donald J. Trump and his fellow American candidates, (as yet unnamed)," Young added.
The post comes with a photo of a long stretch limo festooned with American flags. "I will keep you posted," Young concluded, "but I don't think I will be able to remain parked here during the proceedings."
