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.”

      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?

              You’ve seriously never heard someone say “benzos” before or you’re trolling?

      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.
