Back in around 2016, I was working with a relatively new guy on my team. The whole team was relatively new and fresh out of school except me. I was 30 and everyone else was 21-23.<br><br>We had a team building exercise at a hotel where we had to stay overnight. As part of the team building exercise, we all had to room together, so two rooms, 4 people each basically. I was skeptical but ok with it, so we got two hotel rooms and split up. It was actually a pretty fun experience except for one time, when we all went out to a bar, and one of the younger guys had a bit too much to drink. We decided to call it a night, so we went back to the hotel, and he went to sleep.<br><br>The rest of us were not ready to sleep yet, so we were just hanging out for a bit, having a few more beers, but one of the guys on the team, who was a black guy, decided he didn't want to go to sleep yet. The rest of us convinced him to stay up and drink with us.<br><br>So we were all just hanging out, having a few more beers, and I offered to show them a cool party trick if they were interested. I will change the details so the drugstore can't be identified.<br><br>It was a white pill, and I explained how to prepare it, so it would take effect faster. I explained how it worked, and how long it would last, and how dangerous it was, and what the risks were. The black guy was the only one who was interested in trying it, and I told him to be careful, because I've never given it to anyone before, and I didn't know how he would react to it, because everyone's body is different. He said he understood, and he was willing to take the risk.<br><br>I gave it to him, and he prepared it according to my instructions. After a few minutes, he started to feel the effects, so I told him to sit down on the bed and relax. After a while, I realized he was completely passed out. I was a bit worried because I had never given it to anyone before, so I didn't want him to die or anything.<br><br>I tried to wake him up, but he was completely out of it. I didn't know what to do, other than just leave him on the bed and go to sleep myself. In the morning, everyone was gone, so I packed my stuff and left. On Monday at work, everything seemed normal, and the black guy didn't mention anything about what had happened, so I just let it go and didn't bring it up.<br><br>The weird thing is, a few days later, he came up to me and said that the other guys in his room were talking about the night before, and they were saying he was completely wasted and didn't even make it back to his own room. He was like "what are you talking about," and they were like "you came back here around 3am and passed out on the bed."<br><br>He was confused and asked them what they were talking about, and they were like "dude you don't even remember." He didn't remember anything, and he didn't even know how he got back to his room. He thought maybe he had just blacked out from drinking too much, but then he remembered me giving him the pill, and he started worrying.<br><br>He came up to me privately at work and asked me what I had given him. I was honest with him and told him the truth, and he was mad at me for giving him something so strong without his knowledge or consent. I apologized and explained that I had told him what it was and how dangerous it was, and that he had agreed to take the risk.<br><br>He was still mad at me, but he eventually calmed down and said it was ok, and he forgave me, but I still feel bad about it to this day. I don't think I did anything wrong, but I feel like I might have put him in danger, and I don't want him to think I was trying to hurt him or anything.<br><br>When the whole George Floyd thing happened, I started thinking about that night again, and I was worried he might see all the videos of black guys being beaten up by white cops, and think I was trying to hurt him or something, and I was worried he might accuse me of a hate crime or something.<br><br>He's still working with me, but he's not really talking to me anymore. I've tried to reach out to him a few times and explain myself, and I even offered to quit my job, but he just ignores me. What do you think I should do? I don't want to lose my job over this, and I don't want him to think I was trying to hurt him. I also don't want to get charged with a hate crime.<br><br>I don't even know if I would be charged with a hate crime, but I don't want to take any chances. I feel like I might be in trouble, and I don't know what to do. I love my job, but I also don't want to go to jail.<br><br>​
