June 24 (UPI) -- Customs and Border Protection officers earlier this month seized 695 pounds of the hallucinogenic drug dimethyltryptamine that was bound for an address in Harford County, Md.
On June 11, CBP officers seized three shipments of DMT that were transported via air cargo from Chiapas, Mexico, between May 7 and May 27, the CBP announced on Tuesday.
"The global marketplace has allowed unscrupulous people in our communities to order dangerous drugs, such as DMT, from overseas manufacturers that could hurt and potentially kill abusers," said Jason Kropiewnicki, CBP acting area port director in Baltimore.
"Inspecting imports remains a critical component of Customs and Border Protection's border security mission," Kropiewnicki said. "Seizures like this are one way in which CBP helps to protect our communities."
