"There should be NO middle ground at all.
All or none is the only legit way to go. Either completely ban people from driving or completely expose them to the risks of moving at high speed."
It's a false dichotomy. Why not try minimize the risks and damages while still allowing people to enjoy themselves?
There are ways to minimize harm while at the same time not outlawing drugs like meth and heroin. The answer? Proper education. Most individuals who know the dangers of these drugs are not going to suddenly go out and purchase them if they become legal. Why should you stop those who wish to do so from making an educated decision. Besides if kept illegal there would still be an underground market which fuels criminal enterprise.
