Perhaps they do not welcome the changes. They have been for years seizing people's property and prosecuting them for growing marijuana. Now, a substance British Columbians consume seems likely to be reclassified from a dangerous "narcotic" to a consumer commodity. I would encourage the RCMP to refocus their energies on more productive avenues. Kathleen O'Brien Vancouver - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
