simultaneously served search warrants at five Speedys Smoke Shop addresses in Colorado Springs,
one Speedys in El Paso County and two Los Compadres Liquor Store sites.[1][2][3]CSPD said none
of the businesses were licensed marijuana dispensaries and that the long-running inquiry targeted
suspected illegal THC, psilocybin and 7-hydroxymitragynine sales, including to juveniles.[1][2][3]

several days before exact totals were known.[1]A follow-up release put the seizure at
2,135.05 pounds of THC products, 469.2 pounds of 7-OH products and 4.2 pounds of psilocybin
products, noting those weights were for the whole products rather than pure drug content.[2][3]At one shop investigators found a 16-year-old working alone behind the counter when they arrived.[1][2][3]
Chief Adrian Vasquez and DEA Rocky Mountain division chief Mark Putnam said the packaging
appeared aimed at teenagers and young adults.[1][2]CSPD said narcotics distribution charges
were expected against those responsible and that the investigation remained open.[2]
