Person makes a horrible decision in over powering someone else. Simply being under the influence of a substance shouldn't lead to a longer punishment than already stated. Nor should it excuse his actions in any way.

He should have taken a very tiny amount at first to see what the effect would be. That's what most of us do/did the first time we took whatever. Plus, it's certainly not the victims fault and she deserves justice.
