Police have closed down a sweet shop in Berlin after discovering the owner was selling confectionary laced with hallucinogenic mushrooms and marijuana.
The 23-year old owner of the shop in the trendy east Berlin district of Prenzlauer Berg, an area known for its vibrant nightlife, 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.
Some 70 sachets containing various drugs, about 20 marijuana joints, a range of pills and some jars of drug-laced honey were confiscated.
Police said one customer, who appeared intoxicated, was arrested after trying to buy a bag of hallucinogenic mushrooms from an officer in the shop.
