In the US that would be entrapment and charges wouldn’t stick. It’s a great way to get rippped off though.

- hobs 5y agoNo, entrapment has to show you never would have done the thing without police involvement, simply offering drugs to you wont generally meet that bar! Let's take California for instance * Official conduct that constitutes entrapment under California law * pressure (examples include appealing to your sense of friendship/compassion or offering an enormous amount of compensation for committing the crime) * harassment or threats (repeated and unwavering solicitation of the activity) * fraud (promises that the suggested conduct is legal) * Official permissible conduct not subject to California entrapment law * presenting an opportunity to participate in criminal activity * initiating the criminal activity * undercover operations * reasonable assurances that you’re not being “set up”
