In France, it is illegal to give someone the idea to eat or smoke (or whatever) an illegal substance. An article suggesting to purchase an illegal substance to put it in food, might be illegal (it is called "incitation à l'usage"). Possibly not. Possibly yes.
Anti-free-speech laws like that could be problematic for a whole range of Wikipedia articles, and I'm not sure we should really cater to them. For example, our article on [[cocaine]] gives what amounts to instructions for manufacturing freebase (a particularly potent smokable form of cocaine), but I don't think it's satisfactory to remove this information, as it is legitimate information, and the article is worse without it (it's impossible to research some social aspects of the drug trade if you can't find information on how they're commonly manufactured).
I'd say a fairly high percentage of our articles on drugs have something that at least one government will find objectionable, so we'd have to tag pretty much all of them.
