But it doesn't matter what you're talking about, there will always be some who use it in a dangerous manner. If that were the driving force behind laws, just about everything would be illegal.

I'd argue that makes the point even clearer. Since they're legal substances alcohol and tobacco users are far more likely to report their use than ecstacy users so the actual number of users is probably much higher than reported, but it's hard to lie about the death aspect.

Unless you smoke what a pack of smokes in a hour its not going to make you drop dead as your brain cooks like ecstacy.
And lets be honest, do instructions for safe use really mean that much to somebody taking a halluigen?

No need to argue it. Is society better off with the occasional ecstacy user OD'ing or a large percentage of cigarette smokers requiring expensive long term care? Is the risk of frying your brain on E any greater than dying from alcohol poisoning during a frat party?
While it has been a lot of years, my experience was that there were far more ambulances taking people away from nightclubs due to alcohol related issues than there were at raves. Honestly, I thought having a bottle of water in your hand was as much a part of the whole deal with X as glowsticks and repetitive electronic music.
