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. ♥
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.
