CACTUS TRIP AT DEATH JUMP HEAD SHOP
A DRUGGIE shop that sold magic mushrooms to a man who jumped to his death is STILL selling dangerous mind-blowing products.
Colm Hodkinson died after eating a box of psychedelic mushrooms he had bought legally from the Hemp Store on Capel Street in Dublin.
The drugs were banned last year after a campaign by Colm’s heartbroken family. But yesterday, a shop assistant working in the Hemp Store was selling hallucinogenic cactus plants.
He said: "We are selling peyote cacti for between EUR80 to EUR140. They are very strong but the intensity of the high depends on the preparation.
"You could eat the whole cactus and get nothing out of it.
