FunGuyz, which calls itself the biggest magic mushroom dispensary in Canada, says it’s shutting down all 30 of its Ontario locations.
CTV News reached out to the psilocybin company on Wednesday to discuss the apparent closure of its Cambridge, Ont. store.
In response to our inquiries, a man, who only identified himself as “Mr. FunGuyz” or “James Smith,” stated in a phone interview that the company would be shuttering all of its bricks-and-mortar locations on Monday, Nov. 25.
“It’s not worth it to continue,” Smith explained. “After 120 raids, it’s hard to keep going.”
Police frequently raided the Cambridge store, as well as the company’s other locations, over the sale of its illegal products. During those raids, officers would often seize psilocybin and cash found on-site.
