York Regional Police have busted an illegal operation peddling psilocybin, commonly known as magic mushrooms, across the province.
Police say that the investigation began in August, when YRP’s Drug Unit executed a drug warrant at a property in Stouffville, Ont. The authorities say that the operation was small but it pointed them to a larger operation located in the Hamilton and Puslinch areas.
“When officers found the clandestine laboratory, they backed out and we had to get specially trained people,” YRP Const. Michael Cook told CTV News Toronto on Wednesday afternoon, adding that they do this as a safety precaution. “I think that some citizens or members of the public out there are shopping at these places maybe not realizing that these people are committing a crime by selling it to them and they are also committing a crime by possessing that drug.”
