Legal Question in Criminal Law in Florida

MDMA Possession equals Manslaughter

I have heard that getting arrested for possession of ecstacy (MDMA) will lead to a manslaughter charge for each pill. I don't understand how this could be since manslaughter involves killing. I think this is just a stupid rumor. I live in Florida. Please shed some light on this topic.

Thanks

Unless someone has died as a result of the drugs you have, it is only a rumor.
