#1 Hmmm, a conundrum! Either the drugs were fake - in which case why was she arrested? - or the drugs were real - in which case she must have been mighty stoned not to notice. I vote for the second case;)
How about a suit is small claims court?

#2 Smoking soap. Where's the crime? Even if the prosecutor claims it was 99.7% pure.

#3 if you're that intellectually low on the totem pole you should be arrested anyway

#4 That almost ranks up there with the jihadis involved with the 1993 WTC bombing going back to the rental truck company and wanting their deposit money back.

#6 Spot,

In most states, you can be arrested and charged with possession of fake drugs. Part of the War on Drugs(TM).

#7 Mike - I hadn't heard that; pretty disturbing really. I guess the moral of the story is not to buy your oregano in a plastic bag.

#8 You can be charged for trying to sell fake drugs, but possession of soap still isn't a crime, no matter what you tell the cops it is.

Then I guess I'm in trouble, Spot - I get a lot of my herbs/spices for cooking in the bulk aisle at Good Food Grocery.... ;-p

My mother-in-law once bought loads of herbs at a grocery co-op and mailed us several baggies of them. I was fully expecting a visit from the mail cops until the package arrived safely.
