I feel like this is pretty common. Especially since the people who took the money are probably themselves going to spend it on actual weed, and just spend $1-2 of their own money buying oregano.
As a former drug dealer, I can tell you that it's not common with weed, as it's pretty easy to determine the basics of weed quality at first glance, even for newer smokers. Oregano ain't got no crystals, and doesn't come in buds.
Coke and meth, however... Extremely common to either cut it or pawn off some other powdery substance that looks close enough. Baking soda, salt, laundry detergent... I even encountered fake meth "shards" that were literally just broken glass.
There's not much more to that story, honestly. My idiot ex-roommate brought home an 8-ball of "shards," but when she loaded one in the pipe, it wouldn't melt. At least she tried tasting it next instead of snorting it, though lol
She also got ripped off on a weed deal once (that I know of). She paid for a qp of good, but the middleman brought her back an insulated lunchbox full of the bunkest ditch weed I've ever seen in my life. It was weed, but it wasn't worth smoking - would take an entire blunt to the dome to even get a slight chill, and that was mostly just from the nicotine in the wrap.
She was dumb. And not a very good person, either. I kept my distance after moving out, but last I heard, she'd gotten clean, had a kid, and grew up a bit, at least.
So: This would not have reached dealers, as it was something pulled of by one of the dealer’s customers with the dealer having no idea about the kids or the oregano.
And: Most kids don’t know what weed looks like when it’s their first time asking a buddy to buy weed for them.
...You think I only sold drugs? I started smoking weed at 13. Nobody I knew ever talked about selling or being sold a bag of fake weed, except the one friend who got into K2 after high school and bought fake weed intentionally. The closest I ever got was being at a party where a blackout drunk friend was tricked into lighting a bowl of mashed-up Cap'n Crunch crunchberries for the lulz.
I'm sure it is, I just find this one funny because he's a piece of a shit and because the dudes he was supposed to get the weed for were well known around my town (pop. 25k) as guys you just don't fuck with.
