Vic Mensa Pleads Guilty In Shrooms Case

  • Vic Mensa pleaded guilty to possession of a controlled substance. The Chicago rapper was arrested in January at Virginia's Dulles International Airport for having 41 grams of liquid LSD, 124 grams of psilocybin capsules, 178 grams of psilocybin gummies, and six grams of psilocybin mushrooms.
  • Mensa was charged with felony narcotics possession, but he won't go to jail.
  • As part of a plea deal, the Loudoun County Commonwealth's Attorney suspended Mensa's sentence and gave him a year of probation, Kendra Glover told TMZ.
  • He must also take a substance abuse assessment, perform 25 hours of community service, and pay a $1,000 fine, but he'll get 50% off if the other terms are met.
  • “I have been extremely vocal about my mental health, the culture at large, and access to mental health treatment. It is important to note the extensive research being done on the topic of psilocybin [shrooms] and the many significant movements underway for legalization and decriminalization,” Mensa told TMZ.
