A YOUNG north Queensland chef was so outraged at the poor quality of the ecstasy he bought he went to police and dobbed in his dealer.
David Cousins, 22, paid $40 for what he thought was the party drug - but what he had been sold was ketamine.
Ketamine is usually prescribed by vets as a horse sedative. In humans, if misused, it can alter perception, cause drowsiness, hallucinations, strange muscle movements, nausea, numbness and vomiting and can cause vital organs, including the heart and lungs, to shut down.
Cousins became suspicious about what he had been sold - and then he got angry, casting aside any thoughts of self-preservation.
Police prosecutor Sergeant Dave Blundell told Bowen Magistrates Court that Cousins took the pill to the police station on November 24 and complained that he had been dudded.
"He thought he was buying ecstasy, but has come forward to complain," Sgt Blundell told the court.
Solicitor Cleo Rewald said Cousins, who pleaded guilty to possessing a dangerous drug, was lucky he had decided not to take it and the experience had weaned him off any sort of drug experimentation.
Magistrate Athol Kennedy told Cousins that drug dealers had no quality assurance over their product and had no qualms selling illicit pills which contained strychnine, arsenic or even aspirin.
"These blokes are only interested in making money and don't care if you die from it," Mr Kennedy said.
"They've got plenty of customers."

No recovery party is complete without lines of K on the table.
