Marcq. I liked your comment "Hiram, cars also kill a certain amount of people every year, so why don't you rail against the Dutch tolerance for cars?" Marcq, your statement made me think of the bloody British and their confused logic. How does a car, gun, knife, or any object kill people? A car does not think. It is not capable of killing. People kill and they kill with all types of objects. Therefore, when people who are intoxicated with cannabis, alcohol, etc, and then drive their autos on the motorway, they kill others with their autos. My friend, it is not the autos but the persons driving the autos who kill. Please, don't transfer the blame from a person to an object that can not think. As to "moralistic" fight. It has nothing to do with morals but a lot to do with rights and responsibilities. You have a right to smoke all the dope in the world but when you get inside of an auto, while intoxicated, society has a right to punish you for endangering others who have rights, also. The dope heads in this world aren't the only one with rights!
