BBC News - Operation Julie: How an LSD raid began the war on drugs

On 26 March 1977, detectives finally swooped. They uncovered evidence of a massive operation, exporting to 100 countries and, according to some reports, supplying 90% of the UK's LSD.

Share certificates and details of Swiss bank accounts provided further evidence that the ring had come a long way from its early, idealistic roots - it was now a multi-million pound, multi-national corporation.

The gang jailed in the Operation Julie raids had their money seized, but the Law Lords ruled that this should not have been taken
