CMV: Drug dealers who have people overdose from using their products should NOT be charged with murder.

I have been seeing and hearing a lot of stories where DAs are charging drug dealers with murder after someone unfortunately overdoses on their product(s). While obviously these are not morally good people and deserve prosecution to the fullest extent for drug distribution, I feel these murder charges are an overreach of the law. My heart goes out to people with addiction as I understand the complexity of it, but that said, no one forced them to buy and use drugs from this particular person.  Buying unregulated black market drugs is obviously a very risky proposition, as is using alone in large doses, especially of an unknown substance. Although the dealers may share some blame when people OD they certainly did not murder them.

There are multiple different "kinds" of murder in the United States.  For this specific argument, the drug dealers would be guilty of Second Degree murder, which is a non-premeditated killing committed with malice aforethought.

Malice aforethought is defined as gross recklessness showing lack of care for human life.  In this case, selling someone a chemical which you _know_ they are going to ingest and you _know_ can (and often does) lead to overdoes deaths would be lack of care for human life.  The chemical, when used as intended, causes death.
