James Wyllie tells the remarkable true story of how, in the 1970s, a motley crew of acid visionaries established a worldwide LSD supply empire with manufacturing centres in rural Wales and suburban southwest London. In 1977 their audacious undertaking triggered the largest drug bust in UK history, the culmination of a police investigation of unprecedented scale, inter-country cooperation and sophistication.

Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Hardback. Condition: New. The biggest drug bust in British history occurred in the early hours of 25 March 1977: 800 officers made 120 arrests and seized a staggering 6,000,000 tabs of LSD.The raids focused on two acid manufacturing centres: one hidden in an isolated farmhouse in deepest Wales, the other in a suburban house on a leafy residential street in south-west London.

Tabs bearing their logo were recovered as far away as Australia.James Wyllie tells the extraordinary story of how a middle-aged American academic, two idealistic British students, a public school cad and an American hustler formed the Microdot Gang and created an acid production line designed to turn on the world.
