A man has been charged after police found 200 tubs of psychedelic mushrooms in a Queensland property in what was allegedly a commercial-scale production operation.
Queensland Police searched two properties on First Avenue in Marsden, Logan and Rossmore Road in Chambers Flat yesterday.
Officers found 200 containers of hallucinogenic magic mushrooms and a large quantity of dried mushrooms at the property in Marsden.
The rooms in the home had been converted to cater to various stages of drug production, police alleged.
The 31-year-old man from NSW was charged with several drug offences, including production of a dangerous drug and possession of a dangerous drug.
Detective Inspector Craig Bowman from the Organised Crime Gangs Group said the investigations reflect police’s ongoing commitment to disrupting criminal activity in Queensland.
“These criminal syndicates have no regard for the wider harm illicit drugs cause to the community,” he said.
“They are motivated by profit, which is often used to fund further criminal activity.”
