A Victoria-area man has been given a two-year sentence after pleading guilty to operating a mail-order marijuana business that sent packets of pot to people in the U.S. and Europe.

Kendell Arthur Berntson of Langford was charged in the summer of 2007 after the RCMP followed up a tip from American authorities who had intercepted more than 300 mailings from the same sender.

Police said the packages contained one-ounce amounts of marijuana or magic mushrooms, and were mailed to customers who'd placed orders on a website operated by Berntson, who used the handle 'bcbud.'

In April 2007, the Mounties raided Berntson's home and seized 332 grams of marijuana and his computer.

He later pleaded guilty to trafficking and exporting pot and was sentenced on Wednesday to two years in custody, with 10 months credit for time served.

Shitty! Shitty! Shitty!

He lost 300 packages and didint think something was up? and it said it was all from the same sender? why would he use his own addy for that?

Yo M.o.M!

How stupid can one be?! He's lucky this was in Canada - in the USA he could have ended up getting 20 years for sending controlled substances through the US mail(Federal).

You would have thought he'd at least realize the gig was up when 300 mailings had vanished. Oh Mr. Darwin? Yoo hoo!


( get out of my head, fnord! Or at least do some dusting while you're up there)

Smart as he was, he probably kept all of his customers data on his computer that they seized.
