Crystal fucking meth? I mean, really. Who'd have though something cooked in some dude's garage, using such quality ingredients as Draino, iodine and fingernail polish remover, could be harmful?

thats one way for the legal system to get back at dealers i guess

not sure all dealers would accept being sued without taking illegal violent action

so i suspect he was a friend who got it for her, rather than a dealer in the usual sense

For the legal system to 'get back' at dealers in this method they had to prove he supplied the drugs, so even without the woman sueing him for damages the law would still allow siezing of his assetts and usual punishment. So it's not a new way of 'getting back' at dealers, as it still requires evidence.

And what is the usual sense of dealer? Dealers don't usually create the drugs themselves then sell them, they buy off someone else then distribute them, so he is every bit a dealer in the usual sense.

Put them both in jail and give the money to a charity.

i think the burden of proof for civil cases is less than for criminal cases

the word dealer suggests someone who supplies lots of people whereas often people are just getting it for a mate

I was getting seriously concerned for a moment that it was in the UK. I wonder if soon you'll be able to sue your own child because he has put such a burden upon your life and cost you so much money? Or sue your parents from bringing you into the world, which you just dont like?

No contract in illegal matters anyway, so its all pretty void.

Yeh, right.

I don't think its funny at all.

Yet another instance of weak people taking no responsibility for their own actions: a modern worldwide scourge, incubated by the litigation culture.

Well said Hellkat, she OD'd because she chose to use illegal drugs in the first place. Can the hospital now sue her for payment for taking up a bed & using nursing time that could have been better used on more deserving cases?
