Far Out Man! Agents Seize 61 lbs of Fantasia in Cardboard Boxes in Laredo

LAREDO, Texas—U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers seized 61 pounds of the illegal psychedelic drug dimethyltryptamine (DMT) in a single enforcement action. 

DMT produces effects similar to those of psychedelics, like LSD and magic mushrooms. Some people refer to the drug by other names including Dimitri and fantasia.

“Our frontline CBP officers utilized their training and experience in interviewing passengers and that paid off with this unusual seizure of DMT,” said Port Director Albert Flores, Laredo Port of Entry. “Our CBP officers remain focused on our priority border security mission while facilitating lawful trade and travel.”
