Authorities say a big drug bust took nearly $2 million worth of drugs off the streets of Sacramento.

The operation -- involving local and federal authorities, an informant and an alleged drug dealer -- was centered around ecstasy, a popular party drug.

Federal officials say at least 150,000 ecstasy pills were almost sold in Sacramento in one day. The shipment was intercepted by federal agents in Seattle, Washington, as it was on its way to Northern California.

Agents then posed as the supplier and allegedly pretended to seal the deal with Marysville resident Inderjeet Singh Johl.

According to the criminal complaint, Johl was ready to pay the wholesale price of $250,000 for the pills. The street value of the drugs is estimated at $1.8 million.

Experts say ecstasy produces an energized feeling of euphoria and distorts the perception of time.
