| Addict? Sue Your Dealer!
Wonder how long before this starts to become common place.. maybe they'll have to start selling drugs in little baggies with warning labels on them? Quote:
A former addict has opened a new front in the war on illegal drugs by successfully suing her dealer for selling her crystal methamphetamine that almost killed her.
Sandra Bergen, 23, won her case against a former nursery-school friend who sold her the highly addictive drug, triggering a heart attack that left her in a coma for 11 days.
The ground-breaking suit exposes drug-dealers to legal jeopardy not just from the often-overburdened police but also from their customers, who can easily identify them.

An interesting development aye. Kind of in line with treating illegal drugs like any other product I suppose - which if went the whole hog and did then I reckon its likely a lot of the social issues attatched to drug use (crime, violence, overdoses and the like) would gradually petter out.

Its interesting, given the thread about suing God, that its thought in America you can sue anyone yet to my knowledge no American human rights activists have filed a suit suing the Bush administration for human rights abuses.

What if you just don't get suitably high? "Not fit for purpose" legislation is clear.

The messege to dealers is simple, if your going to let someone OD on you products, make sure it kills them, dead people can't sue
