Strict or absolute liability means that the defendant is responsible for injuring another person regardless of negligence or intent. Some instances in which the law might apply strict liability are with regard to product liability, abnormally dangerous or ultra-hazardous activities and animal owner's liability.

Strict liability means the manufacture can be held liable for any injuries caused by the product, even if they took every precaution to prevent consumer injuries and losses. The manufacture does not need to be found negligent or guilty of wrongful actions. The only thing that must be proved is that the product caused proximate damage to the consumer. This standard is often applied to products that pose some possible known danger such as toxic chemical products, wild animals, and much more.

Under strict product liability, the manufacturer or seller of the product will be held liable for damages regardless of proof of negligence.

It's the basic idea of product liability lawsuits. In the old days, the prevailing attitude was caveat emptor, meaning buyer beware. Strict liability is the opposite idea.

It does not need to prove that the other party is responsible for the damage but at the same time it cannot be exempted from liability simply by alleging that the other party is responsible for the event causing the damage.

For me, "time" is best considered to be absolute anyway. We are free to define it as we wish but it's best if we all agree! In practice, even now when we can send signals all around the globe, we do manage this (see Tom Van Flandern: "What the Global Positioning System tells us about relativity": http://metaresearch.org/mrb/gps-relativity.htm).

Actually, neither use of nor ownership of cocaine is criminalized. Possession of Cocaine is the offense. (Although, I’d point out, its rare to “own” it, and as far as I know, impossible to “use” it without meeting the definition of possession.) But to answer the question: absolutely not.
