Because the law is still valid? If you consider the law stupid, do something against it.
I personally don't consider it stupid to forbid driving under influence, regardless of the means.
Are you asking me or telling me? Because either way no it isn't. Laws are bullshit and you should break them just on principle.
Sorry, all of them? You don't think that sometimes, it's good for some things to not be allowed?
does it not "being allowed" mean it won't happen?
In the case of this gentleman, I suppose not. However, I believe that driving after consuming drugs that impede your ability to drive should have a punishment of some kind. It is a matter of public safety. It's irresponsible to drink and drive, it's irresponsible to be on heroin while driving.
Agreed. But it should be your own morality that prevents that. A law shouldn't even be something you consider when making the decision not to.
