The NYPD has been doing some psychedelic shopping.
The department bought thousands of dollars worth of hallucinogenic Oyster Mushrooms and ecstasy from chemical and laboratory supply companies in 2011 — but it wasn't so its officers could go on magical mystery tours of duty.
The mind-expanding purchases were made so the department’s drug testing lab would have samples to compare against what its officers seize on the streets, according to the NYPD.
