Plenty of awful things are legal.

What is boils down to is this.
- It's a legal product in Canada
- There are controls on who can manufacture, sell and buy it
- There are laws regarding it's use
- If the directions are followed, it's safe
Calling for something to be banned because of occasional criminal misuse or the remote possibility that it might be misused in a way contrary to the law is ridiculous.
Unfortunately, a lot of people seem to be of the opinion that if something won't directly impact them, it's fair game to be banned. For some reason, there is a belief that they know better than the people who put laws in place, despite having zero knowledge of the subject at all.
