Jones saw about 580 pounds of marijuana in professional bags, 49 pounds of mushrooms, 2,600 THC-laced candy bars, 100 high-potency marijuana moon rocks and 22 pint-sized bottles of promethazine with codeine cough syrup.

Some of the drugs were packaged in boxes that mimiced children’s cereal.

Police said they got an anonymous tip that the drugs were stored at a home on Roxbury Road. They found the drugs during a search warrant yesterday.

Officers arrested two people, but haven’t released their identities.

“It’s a classic stash house,” police said. “That quantity. But we do believe people were also going there to purchase.”
