Although my situation was not on the magnitude of what was perpetrated against Carl Anderson, It still left me feeling like a dirty criminal, instead of the upstanding citizen I try to be. My marijuana is shipped to me by a grower who is licensed by Health Canada to grow it. A little over a month ago, my package was turned into the police by somebody believing it was an illegal shipment. I was made to wait four days, with several trips and many hours spent down at the police station before they returned my medicine. What really upsets me about the whole thing is the absolutely ridiculous amount of time and money the RCMP spend on ridiculous activities like these. There was no reason for the Kamloops RCMP to raid Mr. Anderson's house. They should be ashamed of themselves and owe Mr. Anderson an apology. GREG McCOY Kamloops
