A Bradford woman is facing charges after police seized magic mushroom products Wednesday.
The South Simcoe Police Service executed a search warrant at a property and seized psilocybin (mushroom) products, including food items, drinks, teas, and complete mushrooms.
A 37-year-old woman has been charged with possession of a controlled substance, possession for the purpose of trafficking, and trafficking in a substance.
“The South Simcoe Police Service would like to remind the public that any product containing psilocybin or its derivatives is illegal and cannot be possessed, sold or purchased,” police stated in a news release. “There are no people or places within our jurisdiction that are licensed or exempted from the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act to be able to sell or distribute these products. Police have made the Town of Bradford aware of the premise and its illegality.”
The investigation is continuing.
