Fly Nut AA photography Not so sweet...a Tasmanian man has been tricked into believing hundreds of blue M&Ms were ecstasy tablets.

The "drug dealer", one Dwayne Seabourne, confessed his purchases in the Victorian capital to the police upon return to Tasmania last year. “He returned to Launceston with what he believed were ecstasy tablets,” explained Crown prosecutor Jackie Hartnett to the Burnie Supreme Court. “He purchased 400 tablets for $15 each…intending to sell them for $30 each.” After handing over the container, however, the shocking truth was revealed to Seabourne. In The Mix reported that the 21 year old former darts champion was very upset at the revelation, believing he had been "ripped off". According to The Advocate, Seabourne had travelled to Melbourne using a false name, even going as far as to hav had bank cards in said name. The argument from the prosecution was that Seabourne should be sentenced on the “basis of the evil intended", whilst his defence believed that no harm could have come from his “particularly unsophisticated attempt” to traffic ecstacy. Ultimately, however, Seabourne was sentenced to jail for five months, along with Victims of Crime levy of $130. The last two months of the sentence will suspended for two years on a good behaviour bond.
