Crime Description

Artemis knowingly prepared and served a beverage aboard a commercial flight that she admitted was spiked with ayahuasca (a DMT-containing brew). Under U.S. federal and state law this can constitute possession and distribution of a controlled substance (e.g., violations of the Controlled Substances Act, 21 U.S.C. § 841 et seq.), and administering/poisoning another person with a controlled substance (which can also support assault/battery or related criminal charges). Distribution/administration of Schedule I substances on an aircraft or to other persons is a federal and state crime; causing intoxication/impairment that endangers others may give rise to additional federal charges (and state charges) related to endangerment or assault.
