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. - --- MAP posted-by: Derek
