Magic mushrooms found in the chocolate in the Peace Bridge warehouse

Members of US Customs and Border Protection said they are continuing to investigate after several shipments of chocolate bricks filled with magic mushrooms were found at the Peace Bridge warehouse in the Port of Buffalo, New York.

In a news release, US CBP said officers discovered “multiple commercial shipments” containing psilocybin, the chemical compound found in magic mushrooms, in the warehouse over the past 30 days.

It is unclear whether the shipments were destined for Canada or the United States.

“CBP officers working at the Peace Bridge cargo facility discovered several shipments labeled as ‘chocolate and other food preparations,'” the news release said.

“Upon further inspection of these shipments, it was discovered that the chocolate bricks contained psilocybin, a schedule 1 controlled substance.”

The chocolate agents were “field tested” and the substances tested positive for “psilocybin properties.”

According to the statement, in the last 30 days there have been a total of 15 seizures weighing around 10 kilos.

The estimated street value of the drugs, according to officers, is believed to be $165,000.
