In a Montana Supreme Court opinion issued Tuesday, Justice James Shea took up the concept of whether it is a good idea for a drug dealer to “get high on your own supply.”

Shea affirmed the “long-established rule of the drug trade,” backing it up with citations referencing an episode of the HBO television show “The Wire” as well as the 1983 movie “Scarface” and albums from The Notorious B.I.G. and N.W.A.

In the case at hand, the state Supreme Court denied a request by a Ravalli County man to have one of his drug charges dismissed, deciding that his possession of methamphetamine for personal use was separate from his possession for the purposes of selling drugs.

“To that rule, we now add the legal caveat: ‘Don’t get high on your own supply 'cause double jeopardy don’t apply,'" Shea wrote.
