The War On Drugs killed Mr. Biggs. After all, if Mallard's drugs weren't illegal, she would've driven straight to the police station to help the victim get the care he needed to save his life. Instead, she was justifiably scared of being slapped with a bunch of drug charges.</sarcasm></doper_BS>

Sarcasm noted. But the (user-, not dealer-level) drug charges are miniscule compared to the charges for killing this guy. The drug use may well have led to this problem, or it may not (I have almost hit kids wearing dark clothing on ill-lit streets at night while completely sober), but what she'll be punished for is hitting someone and then not taking what steps she could to save his life.

The drugs were very likely a contributing factor to her giving in to "It's all about me" instead of sacrificing her reputation in order to see that this man survived.

This is an alchohol problem. As drinking is so much more, so very much more intense than pot (I haven't ever done X, but I believe it is a speed high), I wouldn't even have mentioned it. A smattering of blue in a swimming pool of red.

[AmishDude]

Even better: She was perfectly able to drive because as we all know, pot makes you drive better. Therefore, the pot and alcohol cancelled each other out. Of course, the ecstasy is the wildcard.

I wuz thinkin'of that!

Her use of two illegal substances and illegal abuse of of one legal substance becomes her defense.

There will be some here on FR that will agree with that defense.

Like the Pro-Choice single agenda of many Democrat women, illegal substance abuse can never have consequenses.

If it does, it is your fault.

BS! Chante Mallard killed M. Biggs.

Guessed you missed the part about DRANK HEAVILY. That's what caused the accident. Pot and Ecstasy did not.

Can you provide evidence that a drug-freedom advocate has ever made such an argument? Or is this just another Drug Warrior smear tactic?

Responsible people do not drive while intoxicated.

'War on drugs", give me a break!
This piece of inhumane garbage killed a man, simple.
High or not, she chose to put herself and her situation
before this persons LIFE.
The drugs she was taking werent so 'situation altering'
to make her loose sight of the reality of killing someone.
Those drugs wore off within hours, what was she doing
for the next 3 days?
She and anyone actually defending her for any reason
are the trash I deplore sharing oxygen with.

She was probably more concerned about the smell of alcohol on her breath.
