Someone sold your friends son some drugs. He died.

Any young persons death is a very sad event. I can only, just barely, begin to understand the feelings involved in the aftermath.

If someone were to kill my son I would have revenge on my mind. I would hope that I would be able to resist the urge to retaliate. I probably would, but the urge would be there nonetheless.

It is simple, and normal, to try to put the blame on someone or something. That kind of anger is one way that someone works through the grief involved.

But the simple fact is that he decided to consume. The same as the college student that overdoses on alcohol and dies.

If the drug dealer deserves death, doesn't the liquor store owner also?

Now if the drug were tainted with a poison it would be similar to whisky being sold that had been cut with wood alcohol. It seems to me that would lean toward harsher treatment of the person tainting the drug or whisky.
