A Marietta man faces a felony drug charge after police discovered 88 pounds of a psychedelic in an Acworth storage unit.
Joseph Edward MacMillan Jr., 57, was taken into custody Thursday afternoon after investigators seized the hallucinogenic drug dimethyltryptamine, commonly called DMT, from a unit he was renting, Acworth police spokeswoman Cpl. Youlanda Leverette said.

The drug produces hallucinations similar to those caused by LSD, though the effects typically wear off in a much shorter period of time.
In all, investigators discovered 1,400 ounces of the liquid psychedelic at the Extra Space Storage facility on Dogwood Lane, according to MacMillan’s arrest warrant. Police also seized ingredients needed to manufacture DMT such as lye, vinegar and root bark, as well as several tools used to combine the ingredients, authorities said.
According to police, members of the Marietta/Cobb/Smyrna Drug Task Force launched the investigation into MacMillan after receiving a complaint about the alleged drug activity.
He faces one count of manufacturing a Schedule 1 drug, and remains held without bond at the Cobb County Jail, records show.
