TEMPERANCE PATRONS GOING TO POT, POLICE ALLEGE

Toronto Police allege the Temperance Society is a far cry from what
the establishment's name suggests.

Eight people face charges of possessing and trafficking marijuana,
after a month-long investigation by the Toronto Drug Squad South and
52 Division plainclothes unit culminated in the seizure of $6,370 in
cash and a quantity of marijuana with a street value of $6,750.

Located on Temperance Street in the Yonge and Queen Streets area, the
Temperance Society is licensed as a restaurant.

However, Detective Constable John Rose of Drug Squad South said the
only consumable items investigators found were bottled water, soft
drinks and Twinkies.
