Illegal drugs seized from downtown Windsor business
Windsor police have seized nearly $42,000 in illegal drugs after raiding a psilocybin dispensary.
Around 4 p.m. on Tuesday, police used a search warrant at the business in the 300 block of Ouellette Ave. near University Avenue.
Items seized include
- 2,980 psilocybin capsules
- 1,940 grams of dried psilocybin
- 507 grams psilocybin chocolate bars
- 165 grams psilocybin gummies
- 10 grams psilocybin hot chocolate
- 7 psilocybin pens
- 3 Dimethyltryptamine (DMT) vapes

A 19-year-old employee who was working at the time has been charged with possession of a substance for the purposes of trafficking.
In July, August, and December of 2023, officers used search warrants at the same location, which resulted in the seizure of over $100,000 worth of psilocybin-infused products.
