But, the "moral right" have no right to make decisions for others. It's above your pay grade. If I, or others want to smoke grass, it's none of your business.

No, you're wrong. In case you hadn't considered the following I'll offer it up to you. There is absolutely nothing new in today's rationale that weed should be legal, weed smokers have always agreed on that. I've smoked it, and I know the argument which says it doesn't impair one's judgement the next day is ludicris. Dope smokers have an attitude and that attitude is universal. They believe they are just more hip than those who don't smoke dope. Sort of like a brotherhood of the enlightened, if you will. My experience is such that it makes one the dumbest person in the room, unless it's a room full of folks smoking dope. In either case, those who are high are very easily impressed, ooing and ahing over the goofiest trivia. Frankly, the most superficial penetrations into the world of elevated thought are extremely short lived and usually self serving. The effects of dope smoking are cumulative, the more one smokes the more all they care about is partying. Anything that requires action, the riggors of life, work, bill paying, cars that won't start, anything that gets in the way of a good time is infuriating to dopers.

We are a society which has existed under a guiding principle, the rule of law. In order to preserve our way of life, even the president of the United States has traditionally not been considered above the law. In fact, presidents have always been expected to adhere to a very high standard of lawful service. Then we had Watergate, then we had MonicaGate, now we have BenghaziGate and several others running concurrently. Compromising our standards has us in moral free fall, as a result government at the state and federal levels are in chaos. When we turned our back on morality, which has always been a reflection of God's written Word, we began to lose our sense of direction. Having abandoned the code on which our system of law was established, the scriptures, cases are settled by arguments. Ever listened to two attorneys arguing a point of law? Always 180 degrees out. We have become a society devoid of absolutes. That once thin and definable line drawn between right and wrong, has been blurred by endless debate and compromise as it has now become a vast grey area of quasi-morality. With minds lighted now by this twilight of indifference, we have people declaring that they should be able to do whatever they choose, and "it's nobody's business". And, having abandoned God's law, who can argue the point? What are our judgements in law based on these days? Self gratification.

The signers of the Declaration of Independence deemed it a "self-evident truth" that all men are "endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights". If life was a party without responsiblity, your argument would make perfect sense. However, life is loaded with responsibilities which are embodied in the very concept of self governance, and responsibility lies well outside the boundaries of unbridled revelry.
