Prosecuting Poison Pill Dealers Act

This bill changes a definition in the federal Controlled Substances Act. It defines when a death or serious bodily injury "results" from using a drug: the drug's use must be a substantial factor in causing the death or injury. A drug counts as a substantial factor if it substantially contributes to the death or injury, even if another drug used also substantially contributed. This definition affects when penalties tied to deaths or serious injuries from drugs can apply.
