Laws are, by and large, moral judgments.

I didn't say they weren't. I just couldn't accept your irrational stretching of the concept. I could quit drinking the small amount of alcohol I consume but your atherosclerosis is permanent. You will never again know what rational thought is like.

That's the problem with pot. Train of thought usually turns out to be a train wreck.

That may be a moral judgment to you but a reasoning adult can easily see that it is more properly a pragmatic distinction based on objective definable differences between adults and minors.

AND...

How you can equate civil laws governing a public thoroughfare with a moral judgment is beyond my ability to imagine
