Memo to our readers: don't waste drugs on attempted murder

We here at DoseNation would like to remind you to please, please, only use drugs for Good, never for Evil. Here, for instance, is an example of what not to do: a woman suspected of killing not one but two husbands by slipping them ethylene glycol (of antifreeze fame) then decides to poison her daughter with a cocktail comprised, apparently, of Ambien, Ritalin, and whatever might leave "traces of opiates, codeine, morphine and hydrocodone" in someone's system (I'm guessing it was opiates, codeine, morphine and hydrocodone, personally). Then, when her daughter passes out from the cocktail, the woman writes a phony suicide note in which the daughter confesses to killing the two husbands. The woman then calls 911, apparently not stopping to check if the daughter was, like, still alive (she was).

Apparently, when you do that to your daughter, it's only second-degree attempted murder. My limited understanding of murder laws suggest that second-degree murder is non-premeditated, but really, if you can take the time to cram that many drugs in your daughter's cocktail, then scold her to finish it, then type up a freaking suicide note, you're not exactly operating in the "heat of passion". You're operating in the "world of a B movie."

Anyway, just thought I'd share.
