Bad News For Budding Entrepreneurs
Ok, listen up all you budding entrepreneurs out there. It turns out that heroin addicts actually have consumer protections under the law. So please do not attempt to pass off pickled herring as heroin.
LEBANON, Ohio - Three people who mixed vinegar with catfish bait and tried to sell it as heroin got hooked by undercover officers.
Authorities said the three also tried to sell fake LSD.
John Burke, director of the Greater Warren County Drug Task Force, said he didn't know what might happen if someone actually injected a bait-vinegar concoction. Authorities don't know whether anyone else bought the counterfeit drug.
"We have gotten no reports of anyone else getting them, but quite frankly the people who may have gotten them aren't likely to report it," prosecutor Rachel Hutzel said Wednesday.
Who knows, maybe it worked. Sentences for the three range from 6 to 18 months.

I know some Norwegians with pretty expensive herring habits.
