Assistant U.S. Attorney Wei Xiang, who handled the case, stated that on Sept. 24, 2014, U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers arrested Postma after he entered through the Peace Bridge Port of Entry. They found in his possession three sheets of blotter paper containing 150 hits of lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD) and quantities of marijuana and ketamine. Postma, a student at the University of Waterloo studying biochemistry, was travelling to meet a co-conspirator in Florida, then to peddle his LSD at a music concert in Atlanta, Georgia.
Text messages from Postma’s two cell phones revealed that he was selling LSD for $15 per hit. Postma sold and offered LSD, cocaine, Mollies, and a variety of narcotics to his fellow students in college. Ironically, Postma believed that his biochemistry studies gave him insight into safely creating, mixing, and ingesting drugs.
The sentencing is the result of an investigation by Homeland Security Investigations, the Border Enforcement Security Team, and Customs and Border Patrol.
