You can get arrested, you could be detained under a reasonable articulable suspicion of having committed a crime.
As to whether or not that would ultimately lead to trouble? No. Could it still cost you money, time, etc? Yes.
One Google search later,
Selling counterfeit illicit drugs is illegal even if the substances used to make the imitation drug are not illegal on themselves
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. If you call it salt they’ll probably think it’s a code name for a drug
“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.
What kind of flowers are we talking about?
CI? Criminal Informant?
If you’re law enforcement or part of the DoC, you probably have better places to ask. I you’re caught in an undercover sting, you can talk with a public attorney at the very least. eitherway, there’s more reliable sources of information.
They’re confidential informants where I’m from - regional differences isn’t surprising, wonder how it’s abbreviated for other languages.
Confidential informants are a bit different, here.
One is a low level perp you let slide because they nark on bigger fish, the other is just a random person who may have information that’s sensitive, not necessarily themselves criminal.
Either way, though, that probably goes to entrapment. And if OP’s not a LEO, and still trying to get some one jammed up, there’s probably a slew of charges there- especially if the motive is leverage.
There are laws against selling fake drugs. Why does he think your product is a drug? Has it been represented to him as a drug by you or by someone with whom you are conspiring to sell fake drugs?
