And let's not forget this career-limiting statement by Professor David Nutt:
Ecstasy 'no more dangerous than horse riding'

Yeah, because street drugs are nothing but pure MDMA.
Besides, it fries your brain longterm anyway.

Also close on 2,000 deaths due to road accidents
but no-one is banning cars.
Not quite the same though is it? Comparing legal highs to regulated alcohol sales with known strength stamped on every can/bottle. A legal high would be like drinking meths watered down with tap water in a bathtub - like how they used to make "bathtub gin" in 1930's America - lot of people went blind, or worse.
And cars have seat belts and air bags and have to pass MOT's and you need a licence to drive them. A legal high would be like strapping a fucking rocket to you back whilst wearing rollerscates. Why bother, why not just get in a car or buy a bottle of scotch - both are far safer, it's just that more people use them, that's all. So you can't compare like for like.
