Two Broomfield teenagers are accused of trying to shoplift kitchen utensil from a grocery store this morning to cook the psychedelic drug Dimethyltryptamine, or DMT.
The 16-year-old boy was not named, because he is a juvenile. The other is 18-year-old Kyle Clouse, police said this evening.
The teens tried to pinch the items from the King Soopers store at 12167 Sheridan Blvd. in Broomfield, police said in a press release.
“During the investigation officers learned the utensils were going to be used to manufacture Dimethyltryptamine,” a hallucinogen, the release states.
At a home in the 200 block of Flint Way police found evidence the boys had tried to make the potent drug, but police found no proof of success.
Clouse was released pending charges and the juvenile was released to a parent, also pending charges.
DMT is a Schedule 1 drug, which means it can only be used as medicine or in scientific research. It is cooked from plants and seeds, usually smoked and goes by the street names spice, Dimitri, Fantasia and businessman’s lunch, according to drug-prevention websites.
