Put some oregano in a baggy with a note”pay me later”and slid it under the door of a guy in my dorm when his parents were visiting. Funny

Sage advice, OP.

Somewhere there's an Italian Grandma who's out for blood after she had to use store bought seasoning

Anybody that mistakes actual herbs for weed is a complete incompetent retard.
DropBearAttack
Can we just decriminalizing cannabis for personal use internationally already. The police should go after actual criminals that hurt people.

The real crime here is how expensive bulk ground basil is.
cartesianplane
It's cheap af to grow. Just sprinkle a bunch of seeds in a big bin full of soil or in the ground, water for 2 weeks, voila.
dingofdong
... is it just me, or does that price tag not make sense? The listing says 50lbs, but the price says $324.88 and $81.22/oz, implying that +
dingofdong
+ it would actually be a quantity of 4oz that you're buying?

Stupid Poe's Law. NYPD bragged about a hemp bust

I remember this one, it pissed me off royally

“The raid uncovered smaller quantities of other herbs but police were unable to test those as they didn’t have enough thyme on their hands.”
inquirerofquantumstuff
Correct me if im wrong but if it is $324.88 for 50lbs of basil wouldnt that be ~$0.41 per ounce, not $81.22/ounce?
Sunseteclipse
You are forgetting the Bezos tax.
Imalwaysready
I think the per ounce calculation is based on it's street value when you cut it up, repackage, and sell the "basil" in smaller units.

Well, at least it wasn't oregano. That's the true gateway spice!!

SWAT raided an apartment thinking there was a meth lab because of the strong ammonia smell. No meth, just lots and lots of cats. Yakima Wa.

The cops in Sweden once held a guy for two weeks on a poss. charge. He was released when the results came back positive for grated cheese.
Sunseteclipse
I remember reading that one
RealityInflicted
Perhaps they were in cahoots? An international pizza ring?

And, their entire crime backlog being thus resolved, so ended the one-episode run of CSI: Stockholm.

That's $0.4061/oz not $81.22

That’s illegal in Italy. Fresh only! Prosecute to the fullest extent of the law!

Eh, it's just another Onion wannabe site.

I see what you're doing...but never mention that shit site again. Its not even oregenol

I'd listen to the man. It's sage advice.

I hope someone smacked the cops with a rolled up newspaper and told them how stupid they are.
HelloToe
I hope people realize this is from a joke news site...

Ooo i love these!
epc81810
Hopefully not eat it. Basil is the worst herb to eat dried. Loses all it's flavor.
StarryPlough
It's still quite fragrant which is most of the flavour
thevortexmaster
True but it's better than throwing it away. 50lbs of dried basil is a lot of fresh basil. Should have made 100 liters of pesto hahaha
notashill
That shit is $81/oz its about the price of schwag backin the 90s
OneLetter
Where the fuck are you getting your basil from? I’ll sell you as much as you want for half that price
notashill
Look at the pic
OneLetter
Ah yeah. Amazons price by amount thing is almost always wrong. 50 pounds is 800oz. Or 4¢ per oz
OneLetter
40¢* per oz sorry.
RenaissanceFaireMan
Maybe you should supply Amazon with some good basil.

I know a girl who only eats plants, but you've probably heard of herbivore.

There was a guy that worked for the circus. He was arrested for eating guest while masturbating, but you've probably heard of the carnivore.
