Cannabis-infused pastries and waffles: Authorities in Kryvyi Rih uncovered a large-scale drug production operation (PHOTOS).

In Kryvyi Rih, authorities uncovered the operation of a drug laboratory that was cultivating and distributing cannabis, generating a monthly profit of approximately 3 million UAH. This information was reported by "Vidomo," referencing the Lviv Regional Prosecutor's Office.

The continuous production of cannabis in Kryvyi Rih was organized by a resident of Dnipro who currently lives in Lviv. The perpetrator involved other men and women, also temporarily residing in Lviv, in this criminal scheme.

The dealers conducted all sales via Telegram: they made over 2000 shipments by mail each month, as well as created "master drops" and "stash spots." Payments were received through cryptocurrency wallets or bank cards.

The estimated monthly income was around 3 million UAH.

During the searches, law enforcement officers seized 20 kg of cannabis, 220 cannabis plants, hallucinogenic mushrooms, 250 drug-infused cakes, 1.5 million UAH in cash, and equipment for the drug laboratory. The approximate value of the seized drugs and psychotropics on the "black" market exceeds 14 million UAH.
