Forget about the “mental facility.” I think it was Aristotle who once said that anyone who commits a serious crime and then tries to avoid punishment by claiming mental impairment due to drug or alcohol use should be executed — because voluntarily impairing one’s ability to think and act like a rational human being is worse than murder.

Plaintiff: You can't bust me, I was f***ed-up on drugs.

Judge: Why'd you take the drugs?

Plaintiff: To get f***ed-up.

Judge: Guilty as charged!

That is a interesting thought attributed to Aristotle. I was trying to find its source and the exact quote/essay but could not find anything. Could you point me in the right direction?

Thanks.
