The Ohio Revised Code section 2925.02 defines corrupting another with drugs as knowingly doing any of the following:
The penalties for corrupting another with drugs depend on the type of drug involved and whether or not the offense was committed in the vicinity of a school. If the drug involved is included in Schedule I or II with some exceptions, corrupting another is generally a felony of the second degree carrying a mandatory prison term of at least 2 years. If committed in the vicinity of a school, it is a felony of the first degree with a mandatory prison term of at least 3 years. Corrupting another also carries with it the possibility of substantial fines, driver’s license suspensions, and reporting the conviction to any professional licensing authority if you are a professional.
