For instance technically having psychedelics wouldn’t be illegal in Finland. VERY technically. Insofar that all drug crimes are defined as something being used, or being meant to be used, as an intoxicant.
So like legally there’d theoretically be wiggle-room, since one might just have milk with psychedelics in it, without ever having any intention of consuming it, or offering any to anyone else. But it’s not your problem if someone goes and eats stuff not intended for consumption.
Obviously it would never fly, but like… technically.
Ok what about prescription medicine crushed up and put in the milk instead. Someone else drinks it by and they die because of an adverse reaction to the meds.
Well both would obviously suffer from the fact that any reasonable person could expect someone to accidentally drink milk from the fridge. That being the reason to adulterate the milk to begin with.
Ok, but there is a sign on the milk in bold letters that clearly states the milk contains prescription medication and is intended for the recipient only. It is the only way for the person to take their prescription, and they need to take it at work. There is only one fridge.
Someone who doesn’t speak English drinks the milk and dies.

Depends on how the law if formulated.
