Time was, we used to use oregano for this...

is it actually a crime?

Time now for yet another charge that I did not know was a crime..."possession of a counterfeit controlled substance with intent to deliver." Even if you fake it, they can still arrest you.

The counterfeit substance in this case? Parsley.

A 15 year old in Port St Lucie and his 13 year old friend were headed to the house of a third friend, who they intended to make smoke the fake Mary Jane. Apparently, the third young man had smoked the day before, so they thought they'd try to fake him out.

However, they made the grave error of doing all this during school hours. When they were caught (presumably by a truant officer), they were booked on the charge in question.

See? I learn something new every day!
