    Weird thing to lie about.

    No one, including members of uncontacted tribes in the Amazon rainforest, would think that of oregano was weed.

    Anon is an unconvincing lying liar.

      When I was 16 I was a little shit. Went to a school where there were loads of posh, upper-middle class kids who desperately wanted to try weed but had absolutely no way to get it. My friend and I sold them so much random shit that wasn’t weed. Once we scraped this outer layer of soft, brown matter off a wooden park bench that had been in the rain, rolled it into a ball and said it was hash. We got expelled, but not because of that - just because we were idiots.

        Ah shit - now you’ve got me wondering… What is that soft brown stuff? Decaying wood? Some type of mold/mildew?

        I vividly remember that stuff from when I was younger, but haven’t thought about it in forever.

          Sounds like Dog Slime Mould - Which is actually a bacterium rather than a mould despite its name.

            Thanks! Not sure about OP, but that’s not it for me - it’s a fine layer that’d collect under your fingernails if you softly scraped them over it rather than big globs like that.

            I appreciate you though!

      Yeah I had a kid do this growing up and no one bought it AND he got kicked out of the school for trying to deal drugs even though they were fake.

        Had a kid almost kicked out of my middle school for faking something similar.

        During lunch one day, he crushed some sugar packets on an Oreo before giving it to another kid. Then jokingly told the kid he gave him a crushed up Ritalin covered Oreo. They all knew it was a joke since he crushed the sugar packet in front of him, but the kid hated the other guy so he told a teacher.

        I think criminal charges were charged against him. The kid had to go get his stomach pumped in the chance it was actually Ritalin.

        The other kid had gone to a disciplinary school for a full year before being allowed back for his 8th grade year.

      one day when i was 15~16 I legit had a bit of oregano on my backpack cause with some friends we wre going to meet up to make pizza, and for some reason i started to grind chalk and put it in a tiny glass vial some time later classmate(one known for partying too hard) comes to ask something and sees the white powder and asks if it is coke, with a deadpan face I say yes, asks if I have anything else I say yes i have marijuana, offers me about 5 bucks, I accept

      when clases are over i go to the super to buy even more oregano and a few drinks, we made our pizza

      next day he comes and asks if I have more weed, his mom caught him, and also thought it was weed, and threw it down the toilet

      no one suspected anything because i was part of the weird kids and also if they wanted pirated movies, anime, games, porn i was the one to ask, one time I sold a couple of bullet casings that were all beat up with trafic, I used to sell kites and sometimes abrasive string for kite fighting, that kind of string is illegal in my country because its too dangerous, so it to my classmates it wasn’t that weird that I could have a bag of weed for some reason
