Police Say Mushrooms Seized

By Hicham Raache

TIMES RECORD � HRAACHE@SWTIMES.COM

With a tip from law enforcement on the west coast, Fort Smith police quashed the local sector of a hallucinogenic mushroom operation that may extend into northwest Arkansas.

Last week, law enforcement agents operating in the Portland, Ore., area intercepted a suspicious package shipped to a Fort Smith address. Portland officers opening the package found 2.2 pounds of hallucinogenic mushrooms, which are deemed schedule one controlled substance in Fort Smith, according to Cpl. Paul Smith with the Fort Smith Police Department.

“We asked them to ship it to us so we could deliver it (to the address),” Smith said.

Upon obtaining the package and a search warrant, officers went to a residence in the 1100 block of South 20th Street on Saturday, where they located three men � Shawn Wilkins, 25, of the residence, Derek Reeder, 25, of Oregon and Doyle Warren, 29, of Fort Smith � and more incriminating substances.

“We recovered an additional one pound of hallucinogenic mushrooms baggied for resale,” Smith said.

The package was not the first shipped to the address, according to Smith.

“We found other packages and documents in the residence that lead us to believe this had been going on since at least November 2007,” he said.

Reeder, who investigators suspect is a former Fort Smith resident who moved to Oregon but occasionally returns to the area, is believed to be the sender of all the packages found at the residence. However, it is unknown, Smith said, whether Reeder is the one growing the mushrooms.

Growing hallucinogenic mushrooms in the Portland area is a lucrative endeavor when the product is sold in a community such as Fort Smith, Smith said.

“That area up there is one of the source locations for these types of hallucinogenic mushrooms,” he said. “You can buy it for $300 to $500 a pound in Portland, but you can sell it for $1,000 a pound in Fort Smith.”

The suspects were likely selling the mushrooms from the residence, Smith said. The type of mushroom confiscated from the residence is designed to appeal to young buyers between 16 and 20 years old.

“They package it as a feel-good hallucinogenic drug,” Smith said. “And the younger crowd like it more than LSD or harder types of hallucinogenic drugs.”

The Portland-grown mushrooms are likely being sold in other Arkansas cities, including Fayetteville and Eureka Springs, according to Smith.

“We have some documentation (Reeder) may have shipped it to other areas in Arkansas,” he said.

The suspects may have been attempting to carve a narcotic niche in the area by selling hallucinogenic mushrooms, which rarely surface in the area, according to Smith

“This is probably the largest (seizure) of these we’ve had in our history,” he said. “Most of our seizures are user quantities and we may average one (seizure) a year.”

All three suspects were each arrested on complaints of possession of controlled substance with intent to deliver, possession of drug paraphernalia and maintaining premises for drug sales.

Police also located $3,000 in cash while searching the residence.

I can confirm that you can get them for around $600 in portland. Never heard or seen anything near $300 though. Then again, you can go to many of the local parks and pick your own cyanescens or drive an hour to the coast and pick your own azurescens. Cubies are pretty much considered 'the schwag' of muchrooms in portland for whatever reason.

When I lived in NE Oklahoma near those places I could easily sell a pound for $2000. If I broke it down I could really make some bank. It is super rare there I only came across mushies around once a year.

Im just defending cubensis. call them shwagg compared to azurescens i agree with u, azure. just defending their honour as shrooms. Referring to a shroom as 'schwagg' is blasphemy.

I never said that I shared this belief, I am just telling you why prices are so low in a state where that type of mushroom doesn't grow in nature.

And furthermore, I dont take anything seriously from some ass clown that starts talking about heaven and swords. Are you even from this country? go away..we dont like you. the reason these drugs are even illegal is because idiots like yourself dont know how to handle them and ruin them for the rest of us.

Well since that is illegal, maybe its not such a good idea to be sending pounds of mushrooms in the mail. I mean, comon. People are really desperate for money. But I can understand that. America impresses the idea of money and power.

You mean the new, highly-potent, highly-dangerous, form of mushrooms called "Dank"?

Can't wait until the media starts spinning that one.

I have actually heard of these "hydro" shrooms from some dude me a friends were chillin with. I laughed so hard, he just stuck to his guns, claming that they were hydroponically grown "just like weed".

What exactly constituted the opening of a shipped package?? How did it look "suspicious" enough to warrant a search? I mean, if it smelled like weed or something, I guess that'd be justified... but mushrooms can't be detected by their odor can they?
