Question by MHman: Possession of ecstasy results in a manslaughter charge?
Im a teen and I consider myself prety bright. Of coarse, all the kids in High school like to make up these laws that dont exist. Some keep saying that if you get caught with ecstasy the drug, get charged with manslaughter. I know this cant be, can anyone shed some light, I know if no one is killed, you can’t be charges with man slaughter.

That sounds like what some shark might say about his client who murdered somebody – “The PCP did it, your Honor, not my client.”
Well, I don’t know about manslaughter but if you get caught with enough it won’t matter because you’ll do time like it was manslaughter.
Haha. No! You get charged with drug possession.
First of all, you don’t seem to be as bright as you say you are. There is a thing here, and it’s called “spell checker”. It is a button you use, to show everyone how smart you really are. “coarse” as you are using it, refers to something being rough, like sandpaper. The course you are using in a sentence is spelled differently. And, if you were really, “prety bright”, you would have spelled it pretty.
As to your question, the only time you can be charged with manslaughter (which is one word, not two), is when there is an actual death that can be attributed to the pills/drugs that you sold/gave to that person.
You are totally correct. There is no manslaughter at all if you are just in possession. You would get a Possession charge only.
Different states are different.
I would doubt that there could be a manslaughter charge without a death. If a person sells drugs to a someone who dies as a result of the usage their could be charges brought. It would most likely be homicide charges not manslaughter.
The DA will go after the crime with the most severe penalty to try to get a person to plea to a lesser charge.
Kids in school are not the people that you want to listen to regarding crimes and sentences.
Who uses X anymore. That went out of style years ago.
