Again I see your point, but the main issue here is that if Joe Bloggs pops a pill, his consumption will not have a direct impact on John Smith's health.

If Joe Bloggs pops a pill, which is a criminal offence, and then kills by kicking to death John Smith who is waiting in the taxi rank this has a direct impact on John Smith.
This happened in a local town about 2 years ago, Joe Bloggs pleaded not guilty to murder as his mind was disturbed by pills and alcohol. QED
