I know you can go from America to other countries with record. Basically it comes down to your country of origin giving you a passport. In america, it is the discretion of the passport officer whether to grant a felon a passport. As long as you don't appear to be on the run you should be ok.

Usually convictions for drug crimes make you inadmissible. Is a "caution" an actual conviction?
8 CFR 1182 (a)(2)(A)(i)(II) provides that "any alien convicted of, or who admits having committed, or who admits committing acts which constitute the essential elements of....
(II) a violation of (or a conspiracy or attempt to violate) any law or regulation of a State, the United States, or a foreign country relating to a controlled substance (as defined in section 802 of title 21), is inadmissible."
The term “controlled substance” means a drug or other substance, or immediate precursor, included in schedule I, II, III, IV, or V of part B of this subchapter. The term does not include distilled spirits, wine, malt beverages, or tobacco, as those terms are defined or used in subtitle E of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

With the current US-Bristish Antiterrorist and anticriminal coalition, you'll probably be shot down immediately you land the US airport if you are lucky to excape jail by the British police. And if you are able to excape both, you'll have the whole US CIA, FBI and National Guard always on guard.

Certainly you can go, but you might not be permitted entry.
It will depend on what you crime was. I suggest that the best thing to do is to check with the American Embassy. That way you'll avoid a lot of embarressment.

i would conntact your local us embassy and apply for a b -visum .
i know that you as a ukc could join the visa waiver but that means you have to lie.
and i would never lie to an us immigration officer if i want to visit this country again cause you can end up in big trouble

Go to Mexico and sneak across the border like the illegals. Plus, you can cop weed while south of the US border.

You might and you might not. It is better to contact the US embassy to see if you can be allowed to enter under the waiver program. If your not permitted to enter under this program, the US embassy will issue you with a visa in London. In this case, you WONT be refused entry.

Yes, but you have to join the army, thus not being too noticable, as the American army is full of criminals.

All despends on what crime you committed? But with the immigration regulations in USA they turn you away for petty crimes committed - phone the US embassy in your country.

Yeah, you'll fit in just fine. If not go to Australia - it's full of convicts.
