MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Murfreesboro Police recovered more than 35 pounds of hallucinogenic mushrooms and a felony amount of marijuana Wednesday evening that would have otherwise been heading to the Bonnaroo music festival today.
"Mushrooms are similar to LSD in the fact that they cause people to hallucinate, and like LSD a person can die the first time they use these poisonous mushrooms, especially in the condition that they were in here," said Murfreesboro Police spokesman Kyle Evans. "Being baked into chocolate makes it a lot easier to consume more than is needed for the high in a short amount of time and can lead to overdose."
The arrests of Charles Culver, 22, James Segars, 20, and Edgar Chamu, 23, came just hours before the festival was set to begin. The men, who were baking the mushrooms into chocolate peanut butter cups, admitted to police they planned to take the items to the weekend festival in Manchester.
