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.”

    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?

      Benzodiazepine is not a drug. That’s like saying “painkiller” is a drug.

      Nobody says “I took NSAID” or “I took opiate”.

      If you’re sad, you don’t take SSRI, you take an SSRI
