Girlfriend's roommate intentionally poisoned me to prove that I was stealing from her and now demands that I pay her back (self.legaladvice)

Poisonedthrowaway が 投稿

My girlfriend's roommate keeps a prescription of clonazepam in their bathroom. Occasionally, I take one, and by occasionally, I mean once every 6 months.

One day, I was over at my gf's place and her roommate was out, and I took one and the roommate poisoned them all because I had this sudden tiredness and nausea that I don't get with benzos and then had this uncontrollable twitch while sweating a lot even though the room was cold. Her roommate comes back and was like, "I knew it. I hope you learn to not take other people's prescriptions and you also better pay me back for every one you stole." And my gf was like, "wtf?" And her roommate said that she knew I was stealing her pills and said that the way I was acting proved it, though she did not explicitly say that she poisoned them. She says I owe her $200 or she'll press charges for theft and that she has all the evidence she needs because of how poisoned I was.

My question is, can she really do this, and isn't it illegal for her to be poisoning me, and should I report her to the police considering that she poisoned me or should I not because I was stealing from her.

She's also been harassing my gf now about me and about how I need to pay.

taking someone else's prescription drugs is a felony.

so are you willing to risk a felony to prove your roommate "poisoned" you? to which you have no actual damages other than "sudden tiredness and nausea" to which you claim you "don't get with benzos" (because you're so used to taking them? without prescriptions?)

nothing good can come of this. and i don't think the roommate has any actual proof you stole the meds.

rarely takes them but knows ' dont get it'

[–]dancingsmartypants 131ポイント132ポイント  (0子コメント)

Not legal advice, but you're kind of a jerk.

People are prescribed those for seizures or panic attacks. So they need them, but they are highly controlled. She may not be able to get more if she needs them and you stole them.

Also, you may not know this, but it has a long half life, so if you drank up to 24 hours later increased side effects such as nausea can happen. Also, you know, death.

Meh, kind of hard to feel bad for you. I have PTSD and use them for when I have pretty intense episodes. Not for like funsies.

[–]bbhr 77ポイント78ポイント  (4子コメント)

First, I highly doubt that she poisoned them, in part because 1) common poisons don't present the way you are describing and 2) she would have had to poison her entire supply of a controlled substance on the off chance that you took one (that you take every six months, you claim) that day.

More likely, she just swapped the pills in the bottle with something else, which would be illegal if she was carrying a mislabeled drug, but probably wouldn't be considered booby-trapping.

You, meanwhile, would have to admit to a felony in order to report her.

[–]shhh_its_me 40ポイント41ポイント  (0子コメント)

By definition to make an accusation against her you have to admit to a serious crime. "I was stealing her meds and she switched them to make me sick."

So you will start with a confession and she will still have reasonable doubt on her side. plus you have medical diagnosis of the flu not "poisoning".

She can go to the police with only "I have a prescription for a drug that can be abused, they are very expensive and I have noticed my medicine frequently disappears when my roommates BF is over and he seems to be using them." The police may or may not decide to look into it.

So me personally, I'd pay her back with no admission of guilt and stop stealing her medically necessary medication.

[–]swalsh411Quality Contributor 115ポイント116ポイント  (1子コメント)

Let it go and don't steal. You would have to admit to a felony to the police. She is also an idiot and should have locked them up if her boyfriend's roommate is a thieving druggie.

I actually think it's shitty you stole prescribed medication from someone. You deserve it.

My girlfriend's roommate keeps a prescription of clonazepam in their bathroom. Occasionally, I take one, and by occasionally, I mean once every 6 months.

And by every 6 months, you probably mean every day. Your story is filled with all kinds of bullshit because if you took one every 6 months this entire situation wouldn't have happened.

Either this story is bullshit, or you've been eating them like candy.

[–]Shit_Apple 9ポイント10ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yeah, I highly doubt OP has a calendar laid out. "Hey, today marks 6 months since the last pill I stole! Time to get another!"

Here's one of those situations where, by living outside of the law, you have forfeited its protection.

Yes, poisoning you was a crime. However, stealing prescription drugs (especially opioids, if that is one) is also a (very serious) crime.

So, if you want to waltz into the police station and tell the cops that you want to file a report, because someone did an illegal thing while you were doing a very illegal thing, be my guest. But I wouldn't recommend it.

[–]esaeler 11ポイント12ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's a benzodiazepine not an opioid, but they're just as highly controlled. This guy thinks that he understands how benzos "work with his body" but as someone who was prescribed them for panic attacks, sometimes the meds would give me the symptoms he's describing, sometimes not. He wasn't poisoned, he's an idiot.

And legal advice says they committed a crime. But here? No crime. Same thing, no crime.

Exactly, this would be like someone stealing a car and getting hurt in a wreck because the owner had bald tires or breaking into a house and getting hurt by the broken glass. The chick who owns the pills can fill the bottle with lasix or potassium and it's her pills, any judge/jury/cop/911 dispatch would have a good laugh tho.

No man, that would end up extremely badly. There are booby trapping laws and they're no joke.

That said, op is an idiot who's got the flu. He'd be confessing to stealing controlled substances and that would be that since nothing else happened, assuming this story is even vaguely connected to reality and not just trolling.

[–]18USC201Quality Contributor 65ポイント66ポイント  (23子コメント)

Congrats. You're both dicks, and you both could be facing legal issues from your dickery.

I'd walk away from the whole thing. If the cops come to talk to you, don't speak to them without an attorney.

[–]rxsheepxr 16ポイント17ポイント  (0子コメント)

So you've admitted to stealing and taking prescription drugs that weren't prescribed to you. Felony. Regardless of what she did. Felony.

Be happy you didn't die, pay your debts (again, you've admitted to stealing) and get your clonazepam elsewhere.

And stay the fuck away from that person from here on out, obviously she's willing to take extreme measures.

Justice has been done already. You got exactly what you deserved. You've got to know that when you say "i only took one every six months" that really means once a week. You can't steal people's prescriptions. that makes you a huge fucking asshole. Suffer douchebag. You've got nothing to stand on here. That don't understand is deeper proof if your own idiocy and self-obsession.

[–]VestigialCunt 13ポイント14ポイント  (0子コメント)

[–]RonDonVolante92 11ポイント12ポイント  (0子コメント)

She didnt poison you though. You poisoned yourself. If someone has a car that is in need of a break replacement it wouldnt be their fault if you steal their car and crash it, in fact its solely your fault. You might be the dumbest person ive ever seen on reddit

[–]esaeler 9ポイント10ポイント  (0子コメント)

You poisoned yourself, you're both assholes, and you especially are retarded. You're probably the same guy that steals morphine from his grandmother with cancer. The same guy who steals adderall from his little brother. Quit being a piece of shit and you won't get "poisoned"

[–]rabidpeacock 7ポイント8ポイント  (0子コメント)

First you would have to admit you stole (a crime) her pills. Then go to the doctors get tested (expensive)!to even see if what you stole (a felony) was in fact poison. Then you would have to prove she was the one who put poison in her own pill bottle. I mean why would she poison herself? Then if you do that, it still doesn't mean anything as its her bottle and she can put what she wants in the bottle. Pro tip 1 stop stealing. Pro tip 2 if you get caught stealing don't try and sue because you stole so much you got caught. Pro tip 3 take responsibility for your own fuck ups.

[–]derspiny 24ポイント25ポイント  (0子コメント)

You're both assholes.

You could be criminally liable for theft, and for possession of controlled substances. Stop stealing your friend's medication. This does not excuse her behaviour.

Your friend could be criminally liable for setting dangerous booby-traps. This does not excuse your behaviour.

See if you can make peace with your girlfriend's roommate, pay up for what you stole, and stop stealing peoples' meds. I guarantee you that will lead to a far better outcome for both of you than both of you being arrested on drug-related criminal charges.

[–]FTbatscientists 6ポイント7ポイント  (0子コメント)

You seem to be fucked. She has a felony case on you plus other offenses and you could be very hurt inside. Time to head to the ER. Hope she is joking about suing you. Your case is not strong.

I'd pay her because you did take them and got busted. At least you had the honesty to post in the sub where you belong! You might want to find out what the fuck she put in there to poison you with...

[–]enolprod 3ポイント4ポイント  (3子コメント)

I can't tell if this is real. If she swapped the pills out she would have had to find an almost identical pill. Then the pill would HAVE to be harmful to someone who isn't supposed to take them. Then she would have to match however many she usually has in the klonopin bottle. Maybe OP stole some pills then got the flu, but his conscience won't let him believe it's the flu.

[–]nintendoinnuendo 2ポイント3ポイント  (2子コメント)

OP stole some pills, probably has the flu, and now is also going thru benzodiazepine withdrawal because he can't steal any more given he's been caught.

[–]enolprod 0ポイント1ポイント  (1子コメント)

I don't think it's withdrawal. You have to be on benzos heavily to have physical symptoms.

[–]timothyhiggins 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

from his symptoms sounds like she soaked them in visine

[–]PsychWhisperer1133 8ポイント9ポイント  (0子コメント)

These guys are right, you fucked up. Go see a doc about this and tell him you have anxiety or trouble sleeping or some shit so you can get some clonazepam while you're there.

Girlfriend's roommate intentionally poisoned me to prove that I was stealing from her and now demands that I pay her back

You should report her, what she did was a serious crime. Make sure you tell the police department that you only steal her prescription medications on infrequent occasions. They won't care as the poisoner is the big fish they want to get.

You're a disgusting human being. I can't believe you'd even consider reporting her when you stole her medication. It doesn't matter if you only stole one every six months (which is very hard to believe, because of your description of how Benzos make you feel and don't. If six months passed between usages, I highly doubt you'd remember clearly how they make you feel) YOU'RE STILL STEALING MEDICATION THAT SOMEONE ELSE ACTUALLY NEEDS.

Doctors don't just hand out controlled substance medications like candy. Because of you, she's unable to take her medicine on days where she needs them. Do you even know what it's like to miss a day or two of taking prescribed medications? It fucks your shit up.

IMO, it serves you right. If you were actually "poisoned" you'd be in the hospital instead of typing this out, or dead.

[–]fdsjjj 2ポイント3ポイント  (3子コメント)

I think this is a troll. Why would someone keep their controlled substances in a shared bathroom?

[–]MakeYourOwnLuck 7ポイント8ポイント  (2子コメント)

Because usually you have people you trust in your home? Doesn't make this person a troll.

I live with my husband and 2 roommates, I've never had to hide my medications. They don't go missing cause people I associate myself with aren't pieces of shit.

Don't hang with junkies.. problem solved.

Do you leave your narcotic medications in areas shared by all the roommates and any of their possible guests? What if your roommates have a family member visit, and they didn't know that the family member had started using drugs? Just seems like you could avoid possible future trouble by keeping narcotics out of shared areas.

And not everyone is able to have roommates they have known for years and trust. Sometimes you have to interview roommates and go with the one you feel the best about. But you never know how it can turn out.

[–]extemma 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

It's her medication. The fact that you had to steal them implies that she had no intention of giving them to you in the first place. If someone put rat poison in cheese to catch some rats, and you steal the cheese, that someone isn't going to get in trouble because you weren't supposed to be eating that cheese anyways. If she poisoned /your/ medication that was prescribed to /you/ then maybe you would have a case. But right now, if you don't do what she says, you might me looking at a Fellony.

TLDR legal advice: don't steal other people's prescription drugs.

Yes, she really can do that. Pay her the money and hope she doesn't kick your girlfriend out which she definitely should do.

Also stop stealing other people's prescription drugs, why couldn't you ask? It's pretty fucked up to even ask but don't just take shit from other people. Do you not know what stealing is? And if you do then why don't you feel bad at all?

[–]akamustacherides -3ポイント-2ポイント  (0子コメント)

Go get a blood test to see what she tainted the meds with. If it is a poison you need to get treatment. You are between a rock and a hard spot, you can't really press charges since it happened in the act of a crime.
