You don't need specific drug laws for that. Child endangerment laws are enough.

This is possibly true; i have no clue what these laws entailed. So imagine trying to convince the rest of the country.
> Child endangerment laws are enough.

Are they, for small doses?

Drugs are either harmful or they're not.

If/when they demonstrably are, those laws should be enough.

Aspirin is harmful. Water is harmful.
Presumably they meant in the way that it was being used in the situation being considered?
....Dosing has everything to do with how harmful something is.

Otherwise, the term overdosing wouldn't exist.
