SUPPORT FOR THE RCMP DOING THEIR JOB

To the Editor,

Re: Pot dispensaries advised by RCMP to close up shop, Nov. 17.

I am writing after reading your article and wish to state our support
for the RCMP doing their job - which is to uphold the Criminal Code of
Canada.

The dispensaries or pot stores are a public health threat. There is a
legal method for people to get marijuana for a medical purpose which
is the Marijuana for Medical Purposes Regulations and it is correct
for the RCMP to act in closing the pot stores operating in Nanaimo.
They pose a public health threat and the operators were willing to
flaunt the law - act above the law in both purchasing marijuana for
resale and reselling it on the main streets of Nanaimo.

We have ways to change laws in this country and if you do not like the
law you do not just break it and suggest others do the same.
