Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dirty" data-source="post: 316395" data-attributes="member: 6535">I've never done meth in my life, but in the grand scheme of all criminal offenses that can be violent, nonviolent, harmful or deadly to others or simply harmful to only one's own self, it makes absolutely perfect sense to me why a person simply ingesting meth is only a misdemeanor, or why a person putting any kind of harmful substance into their own bodies is only a misdemeanor. If there are subsequent actions like driving or an act of violence that open them up to other criminal offenses of a higher level, well that's a different story, but a person just solely ingesting meth? That is not worthy of a felony in any way, shape, or form in my opinion. I could draw a parallel to a person drinking themself to a passed out, vomitting stupor, or going back through the all-you-can-eat buffet line for the third time, or mountain climbing with absolutely no harnesses or ropes. If you get a thrill out of putting your life at risk but don't put others at risk in the process, have at it. Of course, the rest of us get to foot the bill because of your actions...but we are all guilty of doing things that cost others money so I'm going to step off the hypocritical soapbox before going down that path.Anyway, I don't like that people do drugs any more than the next guy, and there are a lot of criminal offenses in my opinion that don't carry a harsh enough label or sentence, but this isn't even close to one of them.</blockquote>
