👉 Barbitutism is a specific type of criminal law in the United States, which refers to the use of drugs or other substances that are illegal in the United States. It is not considered a crime per se, but rather as part of a larger context of drug-related offenses. Barbitutism can range from simple possession to more serious offenses involving extreme quantities of a substance, such as heroin, and involves criminal intent on the part of the defendant.
