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.
