Police say man sold hallucinogenic drugs in chocolate bunnies

November 15, 2007

A 20-year-old Georgia man was caught last week allegedly selling hallucinogenic mushrooms concealed within chocolate bunnies and ducks, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

After receiving a tip, police caught Matthew Jackson allegedly selling a sheet of LSD and chocolate containing psilocybin mushrooms in the metropolitan Atlanta area, where Jackson was arrested.

Police found 74 more chocolate-mushroom bunnies and ducks in Jackson’s truck. Cash totaling $1,200 was also found in Jackson’s pocket.

“It appears they were using the chocolate to cover up they were selling drugs and they had been doing it for a while,” Sgt. Jodi Shupe of the Rockdale County sheriff’s department told The Associated Press Saturday.
