Drug lords out to make a killing at tonight's sellout Oasis concert could do just that - by flogging potentially lethal tablets made of Fertiliser.
Mind-bending Diablo XXX pills are feared to have been shipped in from Amsterdam for the three gigs by Liam Gallagher's band at Manchester's Heaton Park.
They contain the plant food ingredients Ketones, Dicalcium Phosphate and Magnesium Sterate.
A similar drug, Mind Candy, left a lad of 18 from Glasgow needing psychiatric treatment.
His dad said: "He's in a terrible mess."
Drug expert Dr Maggie Watts said grimly: "I am amazed people haven't yet died."

Liam Gallagher
Pretty Green
Liam Gallagher turned the cagoule from the trainspotter’s choice into a fashion staple for any lad about town.
So I imagine his Pretty Green clothing range will go down well.
The Oasis rocker’s designs go on general sale tomorrow, the same day the lads kick off their summer tour with a mega gig at Manchester’s Heaton Park.
I wonder whether Liam will set up a stand to hawk his clobber to gig-goers?
If he did, I’m sure Radio 1 DJ Zane Lowe would be first in the queue.
The Kiwi has named the frontman as his fave rock star.
Not that Liam has ever been unsure of himself.
He once said: “There’s Elvis and me. I couldn’t say which of the two is best.”

Concert-goers heading to see Oasis and Take That over the coming days will be well fed and watered, according to bosses at the Stadium of Light.
In a bid to ensure the 160,000 music fans descending on the city get served quickly, stadium bosses have recruited the help of the fastest pint dispensing pump on the market
Standard beer taps take up to 16 seconds to pour a pint, but the new £50,000 system does it in just three seconds, making it perfect for the 120,000 pints which the club expects to pour over the three dates.
Stadium bosses have spent almost a year cooking up the perfect catering plan to deal with the thousands of concert-goers who are expected to munch their way through more than four miles of hot dogs and baguettes.
Gary Hutchinson, SAFC concert project manager, said: "This was a tremendous challenge for the catering and events team.
"The stadium is traditionally used to host football matches and our catering facilities are geared towards short, sharp bursts of activity before and after a match.
"But for the concerts we are required to change our approach to provide food and drink over a significantly longer period of time of seven hours or more.
"At the concerts, people will be encouraged to move around and take their food and drink to their seats and on to the pitch – something that is usually not allowed at a football match.
"In order to prepare for the concerts at Sunderland we have worked with the same team that hosted the Oasis and Take That concerts at the Manchester City football ground.
"We listened to what they said had what worked for them, and what hadn't. This has enabled us to make informed decisions, combined with our local knowledge, to ensure the best possible outcome for the Sunderland concerts."
The club has worked closely with Scottish and Newcastle Breweries, its official drinks supplier, and Brake, its food supplier.
Jamie Robson, of Scottish and Newcastle Breweries, who cancelled his holiday to Italy to be on hand at the gigs, said: "Catering for events on this scale is always a challenge in terms of planning and logistics.
However, we have worked closely with SAFC to ensure they are well prepared to cater for the needs of every fan attending the concerts."

A Charity for children has been short-changed after a buyer backed out of their winning bid for Oasis tickets.
The bidder sealed the pair of passes for the band’s date at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light with the offer of £1,000, during a charity auction, at the Variety Club’s tribute to Tim Healy and Denise Welch, earlier this year. Now the cause has been left out of pocket after the cash-strapped bidder retracted their offer. Unless the charity can find a new buyer they will miss out on the vital funds.
The Oasis gig is on June 10. Anyone who would like to bid for the sold-out gig, and help the club’s work should contact Bob Gladwin on 07939 031 405.

Oasis
Oasis fans going to this weekend’s concerts are being urged to watch out for traders selling merchandise outside the venue, as the items are likely to be counterfeit.
The warning comes after Manchester City Council trading standards officers, accompanied by Greater Manchester Police, seized around 7,000 counterfeit items, including counterfeit band T-shirts, during what is thought to be one of the largest raids of its kind in the city’s history.
An articulated lorry had to be used to move the items, taken from a city centre warehouse, while items were also seized from a house in Levenshulme and a van during the operation earlier this month.
The officers seized T-shirts and hooded tops bearing logos of bands playing during concerts at Heaton Park on June 4, 6 and 7, including Oasis, Kasabian and The Enemy, along with other artists including The Stone Roses, The Ting Tings, Girls Aloud and Bob Dylan.
Counterfeit Manchester United and Manchester City scarves, hats and shirts were also seized during the raid.
Printing businesses were also raided as part of the operation, with officers seizing printing screens and acetates of T-shirt designs. A man has been questioned in relation to the operation.
Councillor Richard Cowell, Manchester City Council’s Executive Member for the Environment, said: “I would like to praise our trading standards officers for carrying out this raid, which will have a significant impact on the amount of bogus items being sold outside concerts.
“However, there are still likely to be illegal traders attempting to sell items outside the concert, and I would like to remind fans that the items they sell are likely to be counterfeit and of poor quality. Fans who care about what they’re getting should buy merchandise from the official stalls.
“I would also like to warn any illegal street traders who are planning to sell items outside the concert – we will have officers at the event and we will be looking out for you.”

Oasis
Heaton Park has seen nothing like it since Pope John Paul II's 'gig' in 1982.
This week 210,000 followers of home-grown rock superstars Oasis will turn up to worship their heroes.
And it could mean the start of a new era for the council-owned park as a world-class outdoor concert venue to rival the likes of Manchester United's Old Trafford, Glastonbury and even the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado.
Six months of planning for the three Oasis concerts by Manchester council and other agencies have meant improvements to the park which make it a contender for future large-scale events.
The Gallagher brothers will perform on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday at the biggest concerts ever staged in the park.
Concert promoters SJM Concerts selected Heaton Park, one of Europe's largest municipal parks, as the hometown location for the band's biggest ever tour of open-air venues.
A temporary arena is being constructed in the park to host the 70,000 ticket holders for each concert. Visitors will be able to take advantage of a special park and ride scheme as well as shuttle buses to and from the city centre which have also been arranged to complement the existing public transport to make travel easier for fans and to cause minimum impact to the local community.

Park Gears Up For Oasis
Heaton Park has seen nothing like it since Pope John Paul II's 'gig' in 1982.
This week 210,000 followers of home-grown rock superstars Oasis will turn up to worship their heroes.
And it could mean the start of a new era for the council-owned park as a world-class outdoor concert venue to rival the likes of Manchester United's Old Trafford, Glastonbury and even the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado.
Six months of planning for the three Oasis concerts by Manchester council and other agencies have meant improvements to the park which make it a contender for future large-scale events.
The Gallagher brothers will perform on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday at the biggest concerts ever staged in the park.
Concert promoters SJM Concerts selected Heaton Park, one of Europe's largest municipal parks, as the hometown location for the band's biggest ever tour of open-air venues.
A temporary arena is being constructed in the park to host the 70,000 ticket holders for each concert. Visitors will be able to take advantage of a special park and ride scheme as well as shuttle buses to and from the city centre which have also been arranged to complement the existing public transport to make travel easier for fans and to cause minimum impact to the local community.

Bonehead
Oasis
The Vortex
What makes someone walk out on their bandmates at the very height of their success? Dave Simpson talks to four musicians who turned their backs on money and fame
'My daughter was two days old and I was jumping on a plane'
Paul Arthurs, aka 'Bonehead'
Guitarist, Oasis, 1991-1999
Arthurs is one of five people who know what it's like to perform on stage at the biggest concert in British history: 250,000 people over two nights at Knebworth in 1996 (there were a record 2.5m ticket applications). He walked away just three years later.
I formed Oasis [as Rain] with a couple of mates. Liam [Gallagher] came in, we changed the name, then Noel - and the rest is history. The first songs Noel played us were Live Forever and All Around the World. The first time he played Champagne Supernova on the tour bus, I cried.
Oasis was like a steam train. We went from playing the Duchess of York in Leeds, in front of two people who argued over a kebab and stormed out, to playing our first arenas. I remember Liam sat in the seats at the opposite end, shouting, "How are we going to fill this?"
It was the best job in the world, but by the time we recorded Standing on the Shoulder of Giants [in 1999], it wasn't enjoyable. My daughter was two days old and I was jumping on a flight. We'd made our money. We had big cars. We were renting out Christian Dior's mansion in the south of France. That should have been a fun time, but it wasn't. Liam was on a drinking ban and I wasn't helping by not sticking to it. Noel had his own problems, maybe.
I wasn't feeling it any more. I would have been lying to the band and the fans. There were a lot of frantic phone calls and visits, but I'd made my mind up. I always thought we should have bowed out after the second night at Knebworth. Walking out on that stage is a feeling I can't explain: a sea of people. Big!
Afterwards, there was a void. You don't jump off a ride like that and stay the same person. It took me two years to get back to who I was - where you don't think you need to ring up management to ask for a car to get somewhere.
I made a more-than-tidy pile, but recently I've started playing again in a band called the Vortex. I feel the way I did in 1992. When I was in Oasis, I used to wonder what it would be like to be in the crowd, watching. Last year, I got on the guest list for an Oasis gig in Birmingham. It was exciting, but strange. I'd never rejoin them - not that I'd be asked. But for one gig? Absolutely. I still know the chords to Rock'n'Roll Star.

Oasis
Take That
Huge traffic management plans are under way to cut out chaos as thousands travel to see Take That and Oasis.
To cater for the thousands of people who will be travelling to the Stadium of Light to see the two acts, Sunderland AFC has teamed up with Sunderland City Council, Nexus and Northumbria Police to ensure the roads run smoothly.
SAFC has given cash to Nexus so it can keep the Metro running until 1am when Take That play on Friday and Saturday and Oasis the following week.
The council is also putting on a park and park and ride service to help fans get to and from the gigs.
Gary Hutchinson, SAFC's concert project manager, said: "The club has worked hard to ensure the provision of safe, effective and efficient transport options for the thousands of concert-goers who will be flooding into the city."
Nexus boss Bernard Garner added: "The extra Metro services will be vital and mean people can park throughout the Metro network in Tyne and Wear to get to the stadium."
The bus park and ride service, costing £5 per car, will run on all three concert dates from Fulwell Quarry, the location used for the Sunderland Air Show park and ride service, to the stadium from noon to 8pm and 11pm to 12.30am.
Traffic travelling along the A19 from the south will be signposted along the A1018 to the southern radial route into the city centre.
All city centre car parks will be open 24 hours, including Debenhams' multi-storey car park.
Timetable information can be found at www.nexus.org.uk.

Liam Gallagher
Oasis
Oasis' Liam Gallagher has claimed that his band's forthcoming shows at Manchester's Heaton Park may better their infamous 1996 gigs at Knebworth.
On August 10 and 11 that year Oasis played two Knebworth shows before a combined audience of 250,000, and are set to play the huge Heaton Park in their native city on Thursday (June 4), Saturday (6) and Sunday (7).
Gallagher told the Manchester Evening News that he was confident the new gigs would match up to last decade's landmark shows.
"In total seriousness, I reckon these gigs have the potential to be even better than the Knebworth shows," he said.
He added: "It's been a top year for the band, and we're approaching these gigs at the top of our game. My mind is totally on it. With those Knebworth gigs, we were off our heads and we totally sped into it.
"With these Heaton Park gigs, we're more breezing into these gigs. It's not so chaotic. We're a miles better band than we were at Knebworth and Maine Road (the former Manchester City ground where they played in April 1996), and we'll show it. People will have their heads blown off."
Following the Manchester shows Oasis will play further UK gigs in Sunderland, Cardiff, Edinburgh, Coventry and London.
