For me too, it is yes. Frankly, people dieing unnatural deaths is a good indicator of a free society. "Innocent" people die of drugs. That doesn't mean that drugs should be illegal. Whenever something remotely dangerous is legal, lives will be lost. To be quite honest, lives will be lost either way, because criminals don't care about the law. Banning dangerous things is not a solution, it is totalitarian.

The point of the government isn't to make sure that nobody dies. That goal is incompatible with a free society. If dangerous things are legal and that means more people die then OK. Since when is everybody so fixated on creating this wonderful place of honey and elves where nobody ever dies and there never is any form of conflict? Hate to break it to you, but that's not what life is like. Health shouldn't be the number 1 priority in politics, you're gonna end up in a totalitarian society.
I would be a strong supporter of totalitarian society, so obviously our fundamental beliefs clash spectacularily here. It would be pointless to continue an argument.
