Excise officials seized 800 blots in 2017, and only 400 since then
The highest number of LSD blots seized by Telangana Prohibition and Excise officials was in 2017, when a series of drug busts in and around Hyderabad sent shock waves across the city. Thereafter, a massive dip in seizure of the contraband has been observed.
According to details provided by sources in the Excise department, a little over 800 blots of Lysergic Acid Diethylamide (LSD) were seized in 2017 alone. And only half of it — around 400 LSD blots — were seized in the next four years (from 2018 to mid-October 2021).
In case of ganja seizure in the past five years, the highest of over 4,000 kgs each was seized in 2019 and 2020, and the lowest of 2,291 kgs this year (till mid-October).
