When you first took this, it was in college,
before it was prescribed, right?
Yes, sir.
And you knew about that, right?
Absolutely, yes, I did.
And you were implicit in her getting that medication.
You didn't understand the gravity of what you were doing.
She was taking it to help study for finals.
Yes, I vividly remember the day that she called me
and she probably does, too.
She said, "Mom, I need some extra money,"
and I said, "I just gave you money.
"What do you need money for?"
And she said, "Well, you're not gonna like this,
"but a friend of mine can sell me some Adderall
"and that can help me get through my tests."
But you didn't realize the gravity--
Where it was gonna go.
Of what you were doing.
No.
Okay.
So what you're saying is you only take
what's prescribed or less.
I have, I have.
When I've been studying the law from having
my kids taken, I definitely have stayed up.
If there's any time that I'm gonna take my medicine
to stay up and learn something, it's been now.
Where do you get it?
I might just be short of my own medicine
or there's people that I know that have it
that maybe I needed money at the beginning of the month,
so I might have sold a couple of mine
and then comes to the end of the month and I'm short,
so then I might get some more to offset it.
So you're buying it on the street.
I have bought it, mm-hmm.
And you're selling it on the street.
I have sold it on the street, mm-hmm,
but she's also given me alprazolam.
We can't pick and choose the opportunities where,
like I'm bad, but you're not.
I mean, that's silly.
Well, yeah, that's all a crime.
Right, right.
I mean, that's criminal behavior.
Right.
You're dealing drugs.
It's maybe against the law, I don't, I mean, yeah.
Yeah, it's against the law.
I'm not...act...okay.
It's what we call criminal.
Okay.
You're dealing drugs.
Okay, okay.
You're buying and selling drugs on the street, illicitly.
Okay.
And that's a crime and you giving drugs that
are not prescribed to her that you get from somebody else
is also criminal behavior.
You can't do that.
In addition to being dangerous, it's also against the law.
That's true.
I know.
It wasn't a question.
Yeah.
I'm saying, it's against the law.
So you don't wanna be doing that.
Yes, sir.
Either one of you.
Right.
It's like mother,
like daughter.
Y'all just don't go dispensing drugs to each other.
Right, right.
And--
But, you know,
I also don't feel comfortable when she takes
her sleep medicine, but I don't dictate it.
You know what I mean?
For her to have an opinion around me and what I take
and mine's prescribed, like I don't say,
your, whatever she takes at night to go to sleep
makes me uncomfortable, so you don't get to take it.
Well, you go after these drugs pretty aggressively
on the street though, don't you?
I have a couple of people that maybe let me know.
I've got 27 pages of text messages here
where you're attempting to get drugs.
Morgan, you sent, "I can get Adderall tomorrow," 8:10.
Morgan, "Did you find an Adderall out there?"
On the 14th, "Hey, you got that Adderall still?
"Or a half I can have?
"I'll give you two for it if you do."
I really.
Morgan,
"Do you have an Adderall I can have?"
Morgan, "Find me an Adderall round here."
This is in a one-month period.
I don't even know who this would be
and I don't even call them Adderall to be able
to even have called it that.
It's from your phone.
Okay, that's fine.
This suggests to me why you might believe some
of the things that you believe that would not be consensual,
that you might hear things that nobody hears but you.
