A woman accused to trafficking drugs pleaded guilty to the charges in court Friday.

TOLEDO, OH (WTOL) - A woman accused to trafficking drugs pleaded guilty to the charges in court Friday.

Charmaine Bassett pleaded guilty to aggravated trafficking of drugs and marijuana.

After getting a new lawyer, Bassett and the new counsel decided to plead guilty to the charges against her. She tearfully spoke to the judge, saying she never meant any harm.

Bassett was giving out psychedelic mushrooms and marijuana for what she claimed as healing purposes.

One supporter believes Charmaine's passion to help others drove the decision to plead guilty.

"I'm really pleased and blessed by the judge's wisdom and discernment and the leading prosecutor on the other side to see the good that she does and the sincerity in her heart," said Colleen Belt, supporter of Charmaine Bassett.

Bassett told the judge she thought what she was doing was legal because it was part of her religious beliefs.

Charmaine's attorney, Scott Ciolek, believes she didn't understand the legality of use of marijuana and psychedelic mushrooms in Ohio. He added Bassett also did not understand that citing Constitutional First Amendments rights did not protect her.

"People like Charmaine have been introduced to people outside of Ohio that don't really know Ohio law as well as they should," Ciolek said. "And they are giving bad advice and so the buzz words that were being thrown around in the early part of this case are outside of the issue that was presented in this case."
