I think it has something to do with recreational legalization. If Canada breaks the treaty and cannabis goes recreational - then any US citizens invested in violating corporations are liable for damages and the DEA can confiscate. They call it property forfeiture I think - they don't even need to charge you with a crime, let alone prosecute you!
