The Cranbrook RCMP want to alert the public to a new trend in drug trafficking that appeared here this spring. While executing a Search Warrant under the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act, police located a bag of candy, which had gummie bears in it.

"It's the best piece of medicine we've ever created. I used to go to the store and buy Anacin and Bufferin and Bayer - but it's nothing like this medical marijuana.

"They got Blueberry, Strawberry, Purple, OG Kush. They even have Obama Kush. That's when you're blowin' presidential."
