You were had at the Carnal Playground? Sounds awesome.

1: Drugging someone without their knowledge, let alone consent, is so uncool that it's not even funny to joke about.

Not to be a Debbie Downer.... it's been 30 years since I was at a party where someone spiked the non-alcoholic punch with a few tabs of acid. Not enough to cause much effect except to the 1% of us really susceptible to it.
Thinking about it... that might be why I've never been to a party since. Harmless pranks aren't always harmless. Sometimes they have permanent unintended effects.
Oh yes, I'm also allergic to Cannabis Sativa. So a hash brownie might send me to the ER, though I'd probably (literally) explosively toss my cookie before too much harm was done. Projectile vomiting can be a literal life saver.
It's not just a matter of respecting another person's bodily integrity, when it comes to ingesting chemical substances, there's a reason why dentists etc ask if you have any allergies, or have had drug X before. When I was in a resus ward about a year ago, they asked if I'd had morphine before. I hadn't, but codeine phosphate, and pethidine (Demerol) are fine. To be safe, they gave me a small dose of morphine first rather than the usual amount given initially to seriously burnt victims.
My blood pressure halved in a few seconds, alarms everywhere. Only lasted a few minutes, but they were ready to call the crash cart. Another one on the list of "stuff that affects me more than most". Funny what a difference a few minor changes to chemical structure can make. Actually, it was really interesting watching the monitor, seeing my BP level nosedive while heart rhythm slowed. Took my mind off the pain, and by taking note of other symptoms, I figured out I was metabolising the stuff fast, half life not 120 mins, more like 10. But I digress.
So anyway - not funny, not cool, no joke, and while you have to be really unlucky YOU COULD KILL SOMEONE.

Vodka's better.

You know, I don't know what kind of workplaces you guys have been in, but honestly, she needs to loosen up some, not because she can't relax, because outside of work she can, but because she shows strong signs of having a mental breakdown if she really flips out every time someone she works with isn't super serious about every aspect of their work. Part of being a professional is also being able to deal with a wide variety of personalities and coworkers. She shows zero signs of being able to handle that the moment it comes to anything that affects her.

I work in workplaces where people don't get high at work, and where everyone is furious about the lack of real job evaluations or ability to progress. I don't think she's being unreasonable.
It's not like she's just not bothering to do some minor admin, an evaluation is something she needs. Anyway, most of the reactions were before Tai said she was going to do it properly later.
