Ok hear me out. So let’s sat someone habitually steals my lunch. I don’t do drugs and never have. BUT if I were to go get meth or cocaine or something, and put it in my lunch and leave it, and someone else eats it and overdoses, am I liable for a crime?

No I’m not planning on doing this. Just a curiosity. Would there be any crime? They could drug test me and find my blood clean. He or she could admit to stealing my lunch (though it would be unlikely to be believed) and overdosing. But if nothing was intentional on my part, I didn’t give it to them then…?

Edit: to be very very clear I’m not planning on doing this lol I’m a writer.

Edit 2: what if there was a big obnoxious poison warning on it and they ate it anyway? And switch out meth for some other more conventional poison.

Edit 3: ok so a lot of people think I’m mentally unhinged lol. I’ve said it a ton of times. I’m not going to do anything. I’m a writer! It’s *character info*. I don’t have my lunch stolen. I work in a private office and no one has access to it. I know killing is wrong. I don’t do drugs. Earl grey is the hardest thing I use.

Edit 4: ok what about something really spicy like Carolina reaper or ghost peppers?
