Which type of intoxication can be used as a legal defense to negate the specific intent required for certain crimes?
Voluntary intoxication
General intent crimes
Involuntary intoxication
Ignorance of intoxication effects
Voluntary intoxication, though self-induced, may be used as a defense to negate specific intent crimes if the intoxication level makes the individual unable to form the required mental state. Involuntary intoxication, however, is a complete defense when the intoxication was inflicted without the individual’s consent and they were unable to understand the nature of their actions. General intent crimes are not typically negated by intoxication. There is no legal basis for arguing that neglecting to know about intoxication's effects completely absolves responsibility.
