A Florida man has been arrested after a Netflix binge and traffic stop led police to psychedelic mushrooms.

According to police, 44-year-old Christopher Singleton was pulled over last Friday night on State Road 44 in Wildwood, for a license plate violation.

Police say the pickup truck Singleton was driving was unregistered.

As the officer approached the truck, he could smell marijuana and asked Singleton if there were drugs in the truck, to which Singleton replied, “Yes, I have like oil, like vape stuff.”

During a search of the truck, police found a Crown Royal bag tucked into the center console containing three clear bags of marijuana, a plastic-wrapped tube of THC wax, and a clear bag with 3 grams of psilocybin mushrooms.

Singleton revealed to the officer they were “Shrooms”, Psilocybin Mushrooms, that he saw on a Netflix show and wanted to try them,” according to the arrest affidavit.

Probably not a Mensa candidate, sees a Netflix show about Mushrooms and then goes out to try them.

If these people just stayed home with their "stash", then they wouldn't get into trouble. For some reason they like to drive around with their "shrooms". Not only that, but they love to drive around with expired tags, and/or expired driver licenses, or faulty equipment. Just stay home.

THREE grams (1/9 ounce) is a “Mushroom Bust”?

I figured they raided a mushroom farm.

the pickup truck Singleton was driving was unregistered.

a Crown Royal bag containing three clear bags of marijuana

a plastic-wrapped tube of THC wax

a clear bag with 3 grams of psilocybin mushrooms

Another misleading headline.

Sounds like a quality bust making my state just than much safer to me.

Also, “THC wax” what the heck is that?

Just one example of how susceptible some people can be to the teevee. This is how some Democrats are made.

Clearly, it is all Netflix's fault. He should sue Netflix for all of the mental anguish they have caused him.

It’s all part of being ‘’Florida Man’’.

Heck, this could be a reality show or something.

And think of the product line. “Florida Man’’ action figure, t shirts. The whole nine yards.

“For some reason they like to drive around with their “shrooms”.”

Well you can’t get your drugs delivered through Amazon Prime, you usually have to go pick them up.

I really, really hope he didn’t watch “The Jeffrey Dahmer Story”.
