Some days it just doesn't pay to be a criminal.

Man, these po-lice are some strict mofos. Wonder what the bail would have been for genuine crack Lemonheads?

IIRC, look alike substances are just as illegal. I don't know why though.

I doubt it would have been "strict". More like "fatal" or "cruel and unusual".

Most likely both. :)
How is selling fake crack illegal? You going to be charged with defrauding the drug addicts?

I don't get why it's illegal. I've never actually sold fake drugs, but I've tricked junkies into thinking X substance was junk plenty of times for laughs. I wonder if that's illegal as well?

That would have been a nasty scene, me thinks.

i dont' know why its illegal to pretend to sell drugs either. If I want to sell some dumb kid a bag of oregano I should be allowed to, imo

I suppose the reasoning that it would be illegal to do this is that if people get away with selling look alike materials, people selling real drugs can just claim they're selling false drugs. If it weren't illegal, they could probably just keep some fake stuff, lose the real stuff, and get away with being caught in the act, since all that can be proven would be that they were selling fake drugs.
