Define supplier. Are you talking about the drug company that fills the RX or the Doctor that prescribes ?Two sides of the fence on this one.
A) The supplier is directly responsible for causing the overdose.
B) The druggy is an addict, a grown adult and makes their own choices and a supplier has nothing to do with the overdose.
What do you guys think? I go back and forth on this one.
Illegal drugs ... Yes, they were a direct part of a death. Legal RX from an MD ... Usually no ... DR cannot control what an idiot does once they get the RX. The exception is the DR writing way to many scripts for narcotics.
It's all rather silly ! Pot is harmless enough. It's legal in many states with a Doctor's approval. That approval process is a joke.
So how about the pot doctors ? Where did they graduate from medical school ?
Neither. An illegal drug supplier. You buy heroin and then O/D. Should that guy that sold be charged in your death?
