Tweed and Mettrum received those approvals, Health Canada confirmed to reporters at the time. But according to internal RCMP briefing notes, the items Tweed and Mettrum told Health Canada they would be importing from B.C.

The seized marijuana, which caused a rotting smell in RCMP storage, was later destroyed.
