    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.

    Sorry, all of them? You don't think that sometimes, it's good for some things to not be allowed?

    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.

    It should be one's own morality, yes. But I find it rather obvious that many individuals lack sufficient morality to act in the interest of others. Laws, and the punishments for breaking those laws, are supposedly meant to force the actions of the immoral to align with that of the moral as far as public safety is concerned. Of course, this is only true when the laws are just, but the prevention of people driving while high is a worthwhile goal, and it is reasonable to punish those that partake in methamphetamines while operating a large hunk of metal that can easily kill people.
