btw I’ve seen the original Reddit thread this is referencing, and what this tumblr user means by “general consensus” is “one guy said this without evidence, and everyone else said op was fucked and cited specific similar cases to back up their claims.” the only way to defend that this isn’t intentional poisoning is to argue that you did actually intend to eat the thing yourself
The solution is to not literally poison someone. Put enough to ruin their day, and they’ll stop. If they sue, you can reasonably say that you were going to eat it, since it isn’t a dangerous dosage.
So can I write “not for human consumption” on my “display sandwich” and be covered, or can I sue Windex because they can’t prove they didn’t intend for me to drink that delicious looking blue liquid? Gotta be one of the two.

That’s still poisoning. It doesn’t have to be a dangerous dose to constitute poison, it just has to be harmful in any way
Not if you intended to take it.
“The dose makes the poison”. It quite literally does matter the dosage, otherwise any normal meal can be considered poison.
Your honor I was constipated, and this was my solution
But where’s the fun in that?
The fun is all over the bathroom after they steal your lunch again >:3
