Police recently closed down a Berlin sweet shop after it was discovered that the owner was selling chocolates and lollipops that were laced with hallucinogenic mushrooms and marijuana.
The owner of the shop, located in the trendy East Berlin district of Prenzlauer Berg, was taken into custody on suspicion of drug dealing.
“In the shop we found 120 pieces of magic mushroom chocolate and countless cannabis lollipops,” said police, who confiscated around 70 sachets containing various drugs, about 20 marijuana joints, a range of pills and some jars of drug-laced honey.
Police said one customer, who appeared intoxicated, was arrested after trying to buy a bag of hallucinogenic mushrooms from an officer in the shop.

Smugglers will try anything won’t they? The latest interesting smuggling attempt involves bugs as mules.
Fortunately the smugglers attempt wasn’t successful.
A customs officer in the Netherlands too a close look at a consignment of more than 100 larger dead beetles that had been send from Peru and discovered that cocaine had been stashed inside them.
“We see a lot of things, but this was a first for us,” customs spokesman Kees Nanninga said.
“It looked like they were cut open, the drugs hidden in their backs and then they were glued back together again,” he said.
In total the insects held about 10 ounces of cocaine said to be worth about $11,000.

Custom Officials discovered approximately 10.5 ounces of ecstasy tablets hidden inside a Mr. Potato Head toy that was sent to Australia from Ireland.
When the Australian Custom officials opened the parcel they were greeted with the smiling face of this popular children’s toy. However when they removed the back panel of the toy they found the ecstasy tablets contained in a plastic bag.
Officials turned the matter over to federal police. No arrests have been made at this time as the case is still under investigation. The maximum penalty for importing drugs to Australia is life imprisonment.
“Whilst this is one of the more unusual concealments that we have seen in recent times, people need to be aware that Customs officers are alert to unusual and often outlandish methods of concealment,” Customs Director Post Karen Williams said.
