Luciano’s US Visa Revoked After ‘Cannabis Extracts Found in Herbal Medicine’
Popular roots reggae artiste Luciano recently lost his privilege to legally visit and work in the United States after his visitor’s visa and work permit were cancelled by law enforcement officers in that country.
The entertainer who, just a few months ago lost his son in a fatal stabbing was slated to perform at the Philadelphia Jerk Festival at Fairmount Park on Sunday.
He shared the unfortunate news in a social media post stating:
Greetings and Blessings to all my fans, promoters, family and friends who have been awaiting my arrival for performances right across the United States.
I regret to announce that whilst crossing the border from Canada to into America by air on August 25th 2016, I underwent an abnormal interrogation during which my personal hand luggage was searched. During the search a mixture that I normally use as a herb medicine for my throat was found and after numerous tests was claimed to be illegal because it contained cannabis extracts. The herbal liquid was a very small amount (less than one gram), but as a result my visas were revoked and I was denied entry into the US.
I sincerely regret the inconvenience and disappointment that this will cause as I am also deeply devastated. Please pray for me while I face yet another major obstacle in my life.
In the meantime, we are pursuing all avenues to appeal and hopefully reverse the decision as soon as possible. Also, please note that this will not affect any bookings that I have in countries anywhere else in the world, apart from North America.
So please keep the faith…Jah Bless.
Yours Sincerely,
Jah Messenjah
Luciano
