     § 308.  Intoxication or drugged condition.
        Neither voluntary intoxication nor voluntary drugged
     condition is a defense to a criminal charge, nor may evidence of
     such conditions be introduced to negative the element of intent
     of the offense, except that evidence of such intoxication or
     drugged condition of the defendant may be offered by the
     defendant whenever it is relevant to reduce murder from a higher
     degree to a lower degree of murder.
