## Resource

A California dad pleaded guilty to trafficking hallucinogenic mushrooms while drugging his own kids—daily—starting at age nine. He turned his home into a full-blown operation, selling psilocybin chocolates, capsules, and fresh mushrooms online, amassing over 200 pounds of the stuff. Police found six loaded guns alongside the grow setup during a raid. His 12-year-old son even helped distribute the drugs. Vance, the ringleader, also admitted to destroying evidence while on bond. His wife and a friend have already pleaded guilty. Sentencing is set for September. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
