Fraud I get, but intent to sell narcotics is ridiculous. You never had the intent, that's why you're selling oregano. And manslaughter? WTF. Battery at best, manslaughter only if someone actually dies. The US legal system is so damn punitive.

If someone was actually allergic to oregano, and smoked it, they would be in a bad way.

If they vomited and aspirated while having breathing trouble from their allergy, or experience any other type of complication while they are in respiratory distress you are totally on the hook for what happens to them.

They can reasonably make a case to charge you. That doesn't mean the charges will stick or hold up in court.
