Amongst items allegedly recovered from the car were: ten pounds of green leafy vegetation suspected marijuana, two pounds of dried mushrooms, suspected psilocybin mushrooms, two pounds of golden brown wax substance, suspected thc wax, 200 individually wrapped thc edibles, two thousand three hundred twenty-five dollars United States Currency, seven cigarettes containing green leafy vegetation, suspected marijuana, popcorn bag with small amount of green leafy vegetation, suspected marijuana, glass thc vaporizer containing thc residue, tin foil containing three orange tabs, suspected lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), amongst other things. Nebbia lifted clients go home.

Besides giving both out of state residents $100,000 bail a piece, the Commonwealth slapped a Nebbia petition on both clients.
