Why isn't overdosing on Illegal Narcotics a crime? Technically they are in your position. If they blood test you for acting weird in public, they get you for public intox...and driving you get a DUI?

same reason not wearing a helmet on a motorbike is illegal : yeah, you die when your brains splatter all over the pavement, but the person that has to scoop your brains off the road doesn’t want to do that.
