Great, go take that idea to the parents who want justice for the child who is dead due to scumbags like this guy.
I'm not disputing that. But someone doesn't simply decide to acquire that much of a very serious drug with a sound mind. Is it fair to treat a crime the same for two people if one person is suffering from schizophrenia and the other is of sound mind?
