Comment on If I was selling a bag of flower and sugar to a CI who thought it was meth or coke can I get in trouble? How or why when I am selling a legal substance?

  As with every legal topic on the Internet: depending on your (international) jurisdiction.

  I imagine that’s only if you market it as drugs.

  “Hey you got the good drugs?” “Yeah here”

  But what if you played the long con, started…say a salt distribution ring. Have a run down house full of it, sell it in baggies, make it look as suspicious as possible only for them to do stakeouts, get informants in there, just to find you are not doing anything illegal at all, it just has all the signs without the actual law breaking

  “Hey you got the good salt?” “Yeah here”

  goes back to the police lab

  “wtf? It’s just salt?”

  Then they would just think the informant got compromised and have to raid the house lol

    The moment someone saw salt they’d be out. Do you guys really think “drugs” look like flour and salt?

      Nah, the idea is that anyone not buying it thinks it looks like drugs, not to convince the people buying that they’re buying drugs.

      You could also call it “Spice” and make it a blend of different spices, salt, etc…

      Either way, all you need is a bunch of people who are all in on the same joke.
