Yes, obviously any drugging of prisoners other than to treat medical problems is torture.
What if they offer it to the prisoners?  Being a POW seems as good of time as any to start a coke habit.

I think the issue here is consent, not the drugs specifically.

I'm sure it's legal to offer prisoner's liquor if they want it, haha.

I wonder how well that would work for non-Muslim POWs?  It would probably work on me
