I think I see the problem. Allow me to rephrase.

It's one thing to say that drugs are dangerous. It's quite another to suggest that the decision to legalize/not legalize should be based on a danger scale.

It's quite another to suggest that the decision to legalize/not legalize should be based on a danger scale.

So if it's OK to legalize (or not) based on danger, what's wrong with a danger scale?
