Well shit, maybe we shouldn't hold humans responsible for the actions that they convince another human to take. After all, the victim is just a human being a human, right?

    I mean it's not illegal for someone to tell someone else to take more drugs. If two guys are hanging out and one says "hey I think I think I should take more drugs" and the other says "hell yeah brother do it" they aren't responsible if the first guy ODs.

    They are indirectly responsible. Dangerously close, depending on circumstances, of being criminally responsible.

    Depending on the circumstances, yes, that would totally be illegal.

    It's called "aiding and abetting". In most countries it's illegal to convince someone to do something illegal.

    If you are someone the victim sees as an authority figure (especially if the victim is a minor), a bunch of other other charges can be added too.

    In Canada, the UK or the USA, for example, someone who "aided or abetted" someone to commit a crime can be punished exactly as if they had committed the crime themselves.
