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. ♥
