Richard and Christine receive their sentences, along with the rest of the Microdot Gang. But what’s the legacy of their great LSD plot? Kate, a friend of Christine’s recalls her own complicated experiences with the drug. A technique comparable to modern microdots for steganographic purposes was first used in Germany between World War I and World War II. It was also later used by many countries to pass messages through insecure postal channels. Later microdot techniques used film with aniline dye, rather than silver halide layers, as this was even harder for counter-espionage agents to find. Stevens, G. W. W. (1968). Microphotography: Photography and photofabrication at extreme resolution (2 nded.). London: Chapman & Hall. p.46.

Carl Epling and colleagues identified it as a novel species and gave it the name Salvia divinorum.

In 1973 the group split into two. Todd and Fielding established a London base, while Kemp moved to a remote farmhouse in Tregaron with GP girlfriend Christine Bott, a fellow former student from Liverpool University. 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. Tim Scully set up a lab in Denver. He and Owsley produced “Monterey Purple” LSD and DOM (STP). In the fall, Scully closed the lab and put everything into storage. LSD’s arch-druid, however, was Timothy Leary, an American psychologist who founded a religion of mind-expansion called the League for Spiritual Discovery. Its catechism was “Turn on. Tune in. Drop out”. And its sacrament was LSD. Read More Related Articles Forget Breaking Bad – when it comes to surreal drug-ring stories truth can be stranger than fiction.
