I don't know about this specific case, but if you used a credit or debit card, it would be processed by Visa or Mastercard, which are both US companies, subject to US laws and regulations. That's how the US entities would know.

It's for real and the idiotic border police in the us have started asking people about it. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/smoke-pot-us-border-1.47185...
How would the the DHS or another US entity know about payment transactions made on a canadian bank account?
And, I realize that cannabis is not legal at the federal level in the US, but how would lawfully purchasing a cannabis product years ago disqualify you from entering the US?
