So, according to your logic, all of these things should be illegal as well. In fact, people don't do drugs, drive cars and kill people. So, it seems to me, that driving cars should be illegal.

Driving while under the influence of alcohol as well as prescribed drugs is illegal, if you hurt or even kill someone that is called intoxicated manslaughter and at least here carries hefty prison terms.
The other waste of letters you produced is plain bovine defacation!

Punishing people for not being responsible is showing that there are consequences for not being responsible. You are not forcing them to be responsible, they choose whether or not to be responsible and suffer the consequences if they choose incorrectly. Of course, I can only speak for myself; I am an adult, I want to live my life, I want to make my own decisions, I don't want a few idiots precluding me from living my life in a responsible way.

Explain to me the difference in writing a law threatening punishment (which in itself tells you "Don't do that or you go to jail as it is forbidden!")!
Being a parent or acting like one at no time means you do not give responsibility to your child. Obviously you don't have children or you would know the difference between forbidding something and the child not being held accountable.
If you drive while under the influence of any type of drug and I would know about it, I would call the cops on you and have them arrest you as you are a danger to others not just yourself and that is where it ultimately stops. If you want you can kill yourself but you may not endanger others while doing so.
