>> It's not freedom to tell churches they have to arrange adoptions to gay couples, pay for employee's abortificants, etc.

I agree. I don't think churches should have to suffer at the hands of government, either. But I can't really advocate AGAINST that and FOR illegal marijuana without being a hypocrite.

>> Liberals are all for legislating morality, they just want it to be their morality.

I totally agree. Rs & Ds both want to legislate their own morality. Which is at least one reason you just can't do it. You're either free or not and I don't believe we can have it both ways.

As Milton Friedman pointed out, there are compelling economic reasons for legalization, but that is totally overshadowed by the moral reasons. What we are doing to people for possession of marijuana is among the most immoral acts perpetrated on people by their government in this country IMO.
