Police find ‘home pharmacy' of illegal drugs

Investigators found a lab for making psychedelic drugs, a host of designer drugs, guns and cash in the home of a Glenville man, the Jackson County Sheriff's Office said.

The residence contained a lab for making the psychedelic DMT, authorities said.

Among the items seized were 1,200 capsules and 100 grams of a drug called 2C-B, which was used as a drug in psychiatric therapy. It produces a short “trip” of about three hours and is considered milder than LSD.



Investigators said they also found two grams of psychedelic DMT, three pounds of psychedelic mushrooms, 59 hits of Ecstasy, 750 hits of acid, a half pound “high grade” marijuana and what they believe is a small amount of Hashish, and $7,000 in cash, sheriff's Capt. Steve Lillard said in a statement.

Deputies charged Matthew Jordan Reynolds, 34, with numerous counts related to possessing and making illegal drugs. He remained jailed. Bond was set at $200,000.

Sheriff Jimmy Ashe said the drugs seized had an estimated street value of $100,000. His office has shut down operations for making some kinds of designer drugs, but nothing like this discovery, Ashe said. “Basically, he had a home pharmacy,” he said.
