Legality vs. Morality

someone recently wrote a post about their struggle in decided whether or not marjiuna should be legalized. in this post they seemed to imagine that the govenment makes decesions based on our well being rather than political agenda. perhaps they do but it does not seem to be the case to me. i think that every opinion should be considered on both a moral and legal and not consider them to be the same thing. that is my arguement for both abotion and gay rights. if you disagree with these issues morally, that is you opinion, i don't agree with it but, it is you right. But don't confuse morality with legality, just because you consider something to be imoral doesn't mean it should nessisarily be illegal. lots of vegans consider eating animal product to be immoral is that a reason to make it illegal? maybe, but i don't think so. so perhaps it is a bigger issue we should toil over, the idea that their is agenda behind everything, and that needs to be examined before anyone jumps on a bandwagon.
