    Ongoing investigation is code for: we don’t know who sent it. I hope they trace it properly and not just mark it as a win for the stats sheet.

    Who on earth would send drugs at post office? I guess the person who was on shift to monitor caught the cold and couldn’t come to work

    And have you thought of the possible dangers of the weed? People are still killing people over weed money and so on! And we need less drugs that drives people like you crazy, crazy enough to make a comment like that.

    Marijuana needs to be legalized considering it has become a main source of income for many. Government nar goo people work, sun hot but nice for growing weed, importing the good grades for seeds is better for us and if weed is indeed legalized, then the country stands to make millions…..no rather….. billions in revenue. Think about that!!!
