ECSTASY tablets bearing the Harry Potter logo have hit Australia again.

A 30-year-old man, identified by police as a member of the Finks motorcycle gang, has been arrested by detectives in Adelaide after nearly 2300 tablets stamped with the distinctive HP logo were found.

Ice, or crystal methamphetamine, as well as cannabis, an SKS semi-automatic rifle, stolen goods and about $29,000 in cash were also found.

The man was released on police bail.

Yesterday, Drug and Alcohol Research and Training Australia spokesman Paul Dillon said that while the discovery was bizarre and could attract widespread media attention, it could distract from the more significant problem of alcohol consumption among youth.

"Harry Potter is seen as a brand of quality and that's why people are putting it on ecstasy tablets," Mr Dillon said.

But he said the notion that young Australians were being targeted by drug suppliers linking Harry Potter images with ecstasy did not make sense.

To come in contact with these pills, a person would have to come into contact with ecstasy-using networks, he said.

"But we know that the vast majority of school-based young people … are far more likely to be entrenched in the alcohol culture."

Dillon said the latest statistics showed about six per cent of 14-19 year olds had reported ever using ecstasy while alcohol remained the drug of choice for the majority of teenagers.

"Harry Potter made me do ecstasy mum and dad"! hehe

Now common Paul Dillon don't you know that drug manufacturers are searching for the younger audience and of course the best way to do this is by stamping Harry Potter logos on ecstasy?! What do you think that whole Shrek and Shrek 2 pill logos were all about!? CLEARLY dealers are trying to get 13yr olds to take pills, thank you channel 9 for clearing that up for me! 8) ;)
 
well i think its obvious, that having Harry Potter pills means you'll invariably have a SKS semi-automatic rifle in your possesion

simple as that...
 
^indeed

wow, this article reminds me of like, 1999... "DEADLY ECSTACY DRUG IMPRINTED WITH POKEMON LOGOS"... i was like wow, pills with pikachu, cool. and i was only 12 :P now look at me :P
 
"Harry Potter is seen as a brand of quality and that's why people are putting it on ecstasy tablets", no way!

So when I get a pill stamped with the Volvo logo I can be reassured its full of shit?
 
Zomg. The logo is actually Hewlett Packard, but hey, since when does the media have to be accurate. They showed a picture of the pills on Channel 10 on Friday night and they're the same logo as the ones I had.

For anyone curious, the yellow ones are good (tested positive for mdxx) and the green ones are a bit stronger but tested positive for mdxx and amphetamine.
