The term "poisoned" often implies that the person has ingested a poison.
The definition you used above makes the concept "poisoned" a less meaningful
one. Or maybe you try to make a political statement on the badness of giving
a subject a substance without their consent?
By your definition above, if you administer any kind of medication to an
unconscious, you either poison that human, or that human lost its citizenship
with its consciousness, both rather uncommon standpoints.
I understand that humans in some jurisdictions temporarily lose their
rights when convicted for a crime, so in those jurisdictions you would
find it acceptable to perform that kind of re-programming, then?
Feel free to elaborate on your standpoint, in case you (dis)agree.

Chocolate contains a large mix of various substances, some of which do induce
endorphin release in some subjects.

The effect of almost any substance depends a lot on the dosage administered.
