If it is an illegal drug or a controlled substance of any kind, yes it is illegal to sell it to another person. It could be felony depending upon the substance. The police can set you up in your home and with someone using a wire. There may be defenses, i.e. entrapment, but to figure that out, you need to consult with legal counsel, preferably one experienced with the police department who set you up.
