RAID A WASTE OF POLICE RESOURCES

Re: Nine charged after marijuana compassion club raided, April 3

Why are our tax dollars being used for police to raid a medical
marijuana compassion clinic? Don't they have anything better to do
than arrest people with illnesses like AIDS, glaucoma, cancer or MS?
All of these people have either prescriptions from an MD or cards
issued by Ottawa allowing them to possess cannabis. No other drugs
besides cannabis were found, yet police still arrested nine people.
Now those people and many more who are very sick will be forced to go
to "the streets" to buy their medicine instead of a club that has been
licenced and operating for 14 years.

This is exactly why drug dealers, criminal gangs and terrorists love
our drug laws - it lines their pockets. Way to go cops, saving us from
legitimate businesses and sick people while making criminals richer.
