People die from food related illness all the time. Ever ate too much, got sleepy and got behind the wheel of a car? Just because something is legal or illegal, doesn't keep people from abusing it and causing their own death. Or feeding bad foods to kids. Should we lock people up if they do? It's all very confusing but I believe legalization is the way to go. But it's s business like another poster mentioned. They make a good profit by keeping it illegal. Hopefully the tides are changing.
