Black's Law Dictionary

To poison. Not used to describe the act of one who administers a poison, but the action of the drug or poison Itself.

Intoxication. The state of being poisoned; the condition produced by the administration or introduction into the human system of a poison. This term is popularly used as equivalent to "drunkenness," which, however, is more accurately described as "alcoholic intoxication."

Auto-intoxication. Self-empoisonment from the absorption of the toxic products of internal metabolism, e. g., ptomaine poisoning.
