biggest ever drugs bust. The work of eleven police forces, it resulted
in the break-up of one of the largest LSD co-operatives in the world,
the arrest of 120 people and, according to reports, the seizure of six
million trips' worth of LSD crystal, valued at ?100 million. Overnight,
the price of a tab went from ?1 to ?5. This is the first insider account
of how it felt to be caught up in - and by - Operation Julie.
