The answer to your statement is so obvious, drink driving is dangerous, no
thats too kind, stupid, irresponsible and anti-social. But so also is driving
whilst under the influence of other narcotics. Its not the drug thats doing
the killing in that situation its the person who is unable to respond to a
situation as the result of being intoxicated.

In the case of alcohol, you won't blame the drug would you Deluge, so why
blame pot for the train crash?

Famine.

p.s. I think I should have changed the title to Heap and the World and Large!
