Semi-automatic weapons, DMT, peyote and ‘shrooms seized

Arcata Police took down a sprawling drug house operation yesterday morning in response to neighborhood complaints.
APD personnel served a warrant at a home on the 1400 block of Panorama Drive on Wednesday, where they found a marijuana grow scene with more than 200 rooted plants and over 20 pounds of processed bud.
The over-the-line cannabis cultivation operation was the least of their score, however — over a pound of physilociben mushrooms, numerous peyote cacti and five grams of dimethyltryptamine, or DMT, were found. The cops also found two semi-automatic handguns, one semi-auto rifle and $8,000 in federal reserve notes.
Found at the scene were residents Elizabeth Martin, 38, and Alexander Schaffer, 35, and both were arrested and booked into county jail on charges of marijuana cultivation and possession for sale, as well as manufacturing and possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia, and possession of concentrated cannabis.
APD also called in City of Arcata building inspectors to investigate alleged building code violations at the residence; upon confirming the numerous violations, they ordered the plug to be pulled on electrical service to the structure, according to a release from sergeant Todd Dokweiler.
Neighbors are urged by APD to be informants against anyone suspected of illegal drug activity by calling the department at (707) 822-2428.
Meanwhile, the sales of substances that are actually and seriously dangerous like Oxycontin, Paxil, Ritalin, Fluoride, “Vaccines”, conventional cigarettes, etc etc, continue to do significant harm to our community with the *encouragement* of government.
Join the right organized crime family equivalent and you can do whatever you want, unhindered by the government.
Sprawling drug house operation? Puhleeese. Many people know this house and it was a relatively modest grow- possibly legal. There was not a peyote grow- more like a few pretty terracotta pots in the window with a few little buttons. Its very possible the other controlled substances were not for sale at all. The house is a clean and well-kept home. Get over yourselves people.
hyperbole much?
