Fair call.
I also think for most of these people it wouldn't be the first time they took drugs and got violent. Yet somehow it's seen as a mitigating factor in court.
Oh I didn't know what I was doing cos I was on drugs.
I'd say You knew you'd become violent yet you took the drugs anyway therefore cop additional punishment.
Not sure that would help but something has to change.
