An Oregon man who drugged his daughter and her friends with fruit smoothies laced with a sleeping medication after they didn’t go to bed during a sleepover was sentenced to two years in prison.

Michael Meyden, a 57-year-old from the Portland suburb of Lake Oswego, apologized during his sentencing Monday after pleading guilty to three felony counts of causing another person to ingest a controlled substance, The Oregonian reported.

“My whole life is destroyed,” he told the court. “Everything that was important to me up until that point is gone.”

      Ah yes, because it matters if it was diazapram versus alprazolam. The pharmacology is effectively identical… a headline stating “benzos were given to children” is a lot more clear than and obvious than “children given klonopin”

        Yup, either of those would be much clearer than what is written

      If benzodiazepine is in a drug it’d probably be a good idea not to give it to someone unless you’re a doctor writing a prescription then, yeah?

          I tell people I’ve taken an NSAID. I tell people I’m on an opiate. I tell people im on stimulants. People say “I take an SSRI” without being specific.

              Your point is that people do say they take classes of drugs?

                No? My point is they do not say that?

          Yes they do. Never heard of the opiate crisis? And Benzodiazepine is the combination of 2 chemicals which make the ingredients for the class of drugs you’re referring to.
