Authorities seized pounds of marijuana, bags of LSD doses and bundles of vape pen cartridges containing illegal drugs after a raid in Habersham County on Thursday.
The raid was the culmination of a three-month narcotics investigation by the Appalachian Regional Drug Enforcement Office, which includes several local law enforcement agencies and the GBI, according to GBI special agent Mitchell Posey.
