As I said before, this is not a lifestyle issue, it's a safety issue, so what's the problem with legislation to control it? IMO, it's willfully negligent, irresponsible behaviour that endangers the lives and safety of others, and in that regard it's not much different than impaired driving.

Thank you. I think it's a good idea that those who would take MY life in their hands could be punished for such actions.
