Legal Question in Consumer Law in California
Yesterday morning I stopped at a gas station and bought a coffee to go a long with a banana and yogurt I brought from home. After drinking the coffee I felt instantly different and within a few hours I felt sick and had a headache and pain in my neck and back. I went to the ER not knowing what was happening and I tested positive for meth. I don't do meth and didn't eat or drink anything after the coffee. What action can I take and is there any way for me to prove there was something in the coffee?

If the coffee came from one of those entirely closed machines as opposed to a coffee pot just sitting on a burner [in which anyone could dump something], you would have a great deal of problem in showing the meth was in the coffee, unless others complained about it so that it appeared an attendant at the station spiked the coffee. Since none of the coffee is left and the pot or machine has been cleaned since you made you r purchase, the ability to prove anything is very slim [the station will say it was just as likely in the yogurt, especially if it had been opened before and allowed to grow some mold that would fake a positive meth test].]
Did you report this to the authorities? If not, you should and they will hopefully get a sample and test it from the station. If they find the calprit you may end up having a good case. For now it is uncertain.
