Ok, real talk: is that actually legal? It’s definitely fraud, but can you fraudulently sell illegal substances?
In many jurisdictions in the US it is illegal to sell imitation controlled substances.
Thank you for linking this. I’ll be honest, I read most of it pretty skeptically thinking it was a silly law, but as a harm reduction for people OD’ing on a substances they have been misled about and doctors being able to accurately treat patients, this actually makes a lot of sense. Ty for the context. ♥
I doubt that laws on false advertising have any exception for things that are already illegal, so yes it’s likely illegal to advertise oregano as weed.
If you just used slang I doubt there would be any way to make a case, besides not like you give receipts.
Courts and police don’t have much tolerance for that.
Maybe, but what prosecutor would pursue that? Hard to prove beyond reasonable doubt if all you have is a bag of oregano and the testimony of a few children that faked being high. Not a great use of time, and all for one 17 year old kid
Are you familiar with the United States? It doesn’t sound like it. In many towns, whether small cities, affluent suburbs or large cities, police, DAs and courts seemingly have nothing better to do. In the high school I attended in suburban New England they absolutely would have prosecuted a teenager who tried selling imitation drugs. I knew people who were targeted by police for years and eventually went through all sorts of police and court processes for less than 2 grams of weed.
The only way they wouldn’t have is if the family had enough money to get great lawyers, or they were related to someone who worked for the local government or school.
I came up in a small town and they were thrilled at any opportunity to bust one of us with a little marijuana and they prosecuted as intensely as they could. My town was famous for sending kids to jail rather than diversionary programs.
Yep! People think of it as an urban thing (i think?) but small city police use it as a way to abuse the fuck out of people.
All that the OOP asked was if it was legal, not if it would actually be prosecuted. You’re right that there’s no way anon would end up in jail for this but it’s not legal either.
No, this is definitely illegal in the US. You will likely get multiple charges for fraud, intent to sell narcotics, and if anyone gets harmed attempted manslaughter (some people are allergic to oregano, a lot of stuff that looks like cocaine is deadlier than cocaine). If your customers aren’t dumb kids the retaliation could be worse than the cops too.
Weird thing to lie about.
No one, including members of uncontacted tribes in the Amazon rainforest, would think that of oregano was weed.
Anon is an unconvincing lying liar.
When I was 16 I was a little shit. Went to a school where there were loads of posh, upper-middle class kids who desperately wanted to try weed but had absolutely no way to get it. My friend and I sold them so much random shit that wasn’t weed. Once we scraped this outer layer of soft, brown matter off a wooden park bench that had been in the rain, rolled it into a ball and said it was hash. We got expelled, but not because of that - just because we were idiots.
Ah shit - now you’ve got me wondering… What is that soft brown stuff? Decaying wood? Some type of mold/mildew?
I vividly remember that stuff from when I was younger, but haven’t thought about it in forever.
Sounds like Dog Slime Mould - Which is actually a bacterium rather than a mould despite its name.
Thanks! Not sure about OP, but that’s not it for me - it’s a fine layer that’d collect under your fingernails if you softly scraped them over it rather than big globs like that.
I appreciate you though!
Yeah I had a kid do this growing up and no one bought it AND he got kicked out of the school for trying to deal drugs even though they were fake.
Had a kid almost kicked out of my middle school for faking something similar.
During lunch one day, he crushed some sugar packets on an Oreo before giving it to another kid. Then jokingly told the kid he gave him a crushed up Ritalin covered Oreo. They all knew it was a joke since he crushed the sugar packet in front of him, but the kid hated the other guy so he told a teacher.
I think criminal charges were charged against him. The kid had to go get his stomach pumped in the chance it was actually Ritalin.
The other kid had gone to a disciplinary school for a full year before being allowed back for his 8th grade year.
Mix it with tobacco and plenty of idiots will take it and smoke it

You’ve clearly never been to junior high school
one day when i was 15~16 I legit had a bit of oregano on my backpack cause with some friends we wre going to meet up to make pizza, and for some reason i started to grind chalk and put it in a tiny glass vial some time later classmate(one known for partying too hard) comes to ask something and sees the white powder and asks if it is coke, with a deadpan face I say yes, asks if I have anything else I say yes i have marijuana, offers me about 5 bucks, I accept
when clases are over i go to the super to buy even more oregano and a few drinks, we made our pizza
next day he comes and asks if I have more weed, his mom caught him, and also thought it was weed, and threw it down the toilet
no one suspected anything because i was part of the weird kids and also if they wanted pirated movies, anime, games, porn i was the one to ask, one time I sold a couple of bullet casings that were all beat up with trafic, I used to sell kites and sometimes abrasive string for kite fighting, that kind of string is illegal in my country because its too dangerous, so it to my classmates it wasn’t that weird that I could have a bag of weed for some reason
It’s really not weird that a 15/16 year old has weed.
That totally happened.

The entirety of 4chan?
you can always, like block this community you know
You’re right. I never noticed these were a set community. I assumed they were random cause I hadn’t looked closely. Blocked. Thanks.
they can’t do anything
I know all greentexts are fake but this gave it away for me. Schools will 100% suspend you for what anon did, even if it’s not actual drugs it’s still drug paraphernalia (if this doesn’t stick it can be filed under the “causing a distraction” clause).
anon lies because he thinks you’re stupid
