Is it rude to feed someone "weed laced" brownies without their consent in your opinion?


Basically awhile ago, my cousin told me an instance where he fed his friends a bit (obviously not an insane dosage, but still) of "weed brownies" without their knowing. They aren't weed smokers at all, so it's not like your every day prank. Even though weed is harmless, would you consider this rude, in a way? Or basically a harmless joke since weed itself doesn't necessarily cause any harm?

I have my own opinion, but just curious to see what others might think (and if you're curious what I think, I think it's a tiny bit fucked up, considering they may or may not have had their own moral beliefs towards the plant, but worse things can definitely be done).

Why are you reposting this question here, after it was deleted from the subreddit you originally posted at? Are you fishing for validation?

You were given an answer to your question at Reddit. It's not a question of it being rude, but illegal.

Don't even think of doing it.

2 minababe, apart from being illegal, its also immoral too, right?

reply

Of course it's immoral. As others have said, it's a type of violation, and it's no different from spiking a woman's drink with a date rape drug or putting visine in someone's food as a prank.

I emphasized the illegality of it because based on the OP's posting history on Reddit, it seems as if he is looking for someone to tell him that it's not really immoral so that he can go ahead and do it. So, I want to make this individual perfectly clear that if he decides to go ahead with it because someone said it's not "really wrong," he can be arrested and criminally charged on several felony charges.

If my mother and/or any of my relatives from the past saw the OP they would've also been in shock and claimed, in addition to how wrong and illegal it is - Jesus Christ, that dumbed down bastard sure as hell has nothing better to do with his life.

Why not do something GOOD and PRODUCTIVE with your life instead, mate?

Way beyond rude. Dangerous, stupid, and immensely disrespectful to that person.

I'm no hypocrite. I haven't smoked pot in about 35 years, but I sure smoked a lot of it during my college years. During my sophomore year I probably spent more evenings stoned than not. But I decided when I would get high -- nobody else. Nobody is going to decide for me, without my knowledge or consent, what goes in my body.

If someone had done that to me, he'd better have had half a dozen good reasons for doing it. And even then it wouldn't matter. He'd still go out the front door with my bootprint on his ass. My mental state is not a toy for anyone to play with.

And that's a stoner's answer. What if the person believes using marijuana is wrong?

A brownie high comes on more slowly than one from inhaling, from what I remember. What if the victim eats the brownie, says "thanks for the snack but I can't stay, I've got an appointment" then immediately drives off? Twenty minutes later he's on the road, driving while impaired.

As I recall, a brownie high feels different than one from inhaling. When I took bong hits, I knew how impaired I was because I was used to it. I knew the territory, so to speak. I ate brownies only a few times, and because it felt different and I wasn't used to it, I was more impaired than what it felt like to me. And unlike the victim here, I knew I had eaten them.

What if he gets arrested for driving while impaired?

What if he wrecks his car?

What if those things don't happen, but that appointment he goes to is an important one. Say, a job interview that he loses out on when for reasons he can't understand, he starts giggling in the middle of the interview?

What if he tries doing something that's only safe when you've got a clear head? Replacing an electrical outlet, using a chain saw, something like that.

I think it's massively fucked up.

Not only is it rude, it's outright illegal. Could be considered assault in some places.
