  1. Senate Bill 83. Ingestion of Meth, class 1 misdemeanor. Ingestion of Fentanyl, class 1 misdemeanor. Ingestion of Cocaine, class 1 misdemeanor. Ingestion of Heroin, class 1 misdemeanor. Ingestion of LSD, class 1 misdemeanor. It’s all a victimless crime. Every county has a hope court. After 3 strikes the State charges you with a Class 6 felony, rather than a Class 5 felony…..so 6 months in the Pen for every offense thereafter. Good work Tamara Grove (golf clap), good work!

    1. Horrible bill. Meth in your pocket a felony. Meth swallowed is a misdemeanor. Addicts commit crimes to pay for their habit. Some end of selling drugs. Pray Rhoden vetos.

      1. He already signed it dingus. Hence the title of the post “Gov Rhoden signs 19 Bills”

  2. One last thought on SB 83, at least with DUIs we stack them such that you multiple offenses start moving DUIs up the felony list…..felony 6 for a DUI 3rd, felony 5 for a DUI 4th and so on.
