A 17 year old was arrested at the Bass Control dance party at Sydney Olympic Park on Saturday night after being found with 94 brown-coloured tablets which he was selling as ecstasy. Tests are under way to determine exactly what the tablets contain but detectives believe they are laxatives being sold as ecstasy.
Flemington police Detective Inspector Scott Whyte warned it was difficult to tell what some illicit drugs contained. He said:
"Not only are you breaking the law, but you’re risking your life because you don’t know what it is or how it will react with your body,"
This is something I don’t understand with those inclined to use pills like ecstasy. It seems a hell of a risk to me, taking something from some dodgy character who got it from some other dodgy guy who probably mixed a batch of chemicals (god knows what) under dubious conditions in his bathtub.
