With two arrests and $63,500 worth of magic mushrooms (psilocybin) and dimethyltryptamine (DMT) seized, York Regional Police Guns, Gangs and Drug Enforcement Unit (GGDEU) investigators have made a significant impact in the fight against illegal magic mushroom stores operating within our community.
In March 2024, the GGDEU commenced an investigation into the FunGuyz Magic Mushrooms store in the area of Yonge Street and Centre Street after complaints from the community. The production, sale and possession of magic mushrooms and DMT, also a psychedelic drug, are illegal in Canada. There are no legal stores in Ontario permitted to sell these controlled substances.
In April 2024, three separate Controlled Drugs and Substances Act (CDSA) search warrants were executed, multiple charges laid and $63,500 worth of controlled substances seized.
