Please Involve Your Opinion To This Large Controversy!!!
If these people are basing their arguments on morality, then it is not possible to have a resolution. this is because morality is subjective, and always changing. Accoding to dictionary.com there are these deffinitions

â??adjective
1. of, pertaining to, or concerned with the principles or rules of right conduct or the distinction between right and wrong; ethical: moral attitudes.

9. the moral teaching or practical lesson contained in a fable, tale, experience, etc.
10. the embodiment or type of something.

number 3 seems to be the most pertinant to this discussion. the fact that morality is something outside of legalities. the legal system deals with 'right and wrong' whereas a moral system is concerned with 'good and bad' the two do not always intermix.
furthermore the fact that morality is subjective and changes throughout time is ALL the more reason why it SHOULD NOT be included in the legal system. A commonly used example is the civil rights movements. Segregation was the law, and therefore it was right. however it was not good.
Marijuana prohibition is the law (federally) so it is 'right' to follow it, you cannot say it is morally 'good'\"When governments fear the people there is liberty. When the people fear the government there is tyranny.\" -Thomas Jefferson
