Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, comes with responsibility. How can I pursue the happiness of a day at the beach if you are parading around with all your physical parts dangling all over the place, as if anyone were interested?
Could you possibly use your own backyard to be naked in, instead of forcing your naked body upon the rest of society?
Woudl you mind smoking whatever it is you are using in the privacy of your own home; the very odor of pot makes me vomit; and that would be denying me the right to my pursuit of happiness; and when you need money to support that crack habit of yours, are you going to steal my property or my neighbors?
Just a couple of things to think about.

Hello there. My opinion? Hell no! The government should never be our babysitter. Moral conduct is a personal issue, and it should never be tampered with by Big Brother- I.E. - the government. We are all responsible to OURSELVES about what we choose to do or not to do. What's wrong with nude beaches? We were born nude, so what's the deal? Should we be ashamed of ourselves? No. By the way, nude beaches are highly overrated if you're intending to go there and find some hottie. As for drug use, that is another PERSONAL issue - and as long as you aren't hurting anyone else, it's your right. There you have it!

I go back and forth on that one. I see both points of view.
I do think the police spend to much time running after teenagers with grass and beer. I think their time could be better spent on catching violent offenders.
I look at the police report in the newspaper and that's all they ever do. I think they run after these nonviolent offenders because its easy. Not because the legislature is most worried about it.
But the cops say that they don't make the law, they just enforce it.
We could fix that by legalizing pot and E to start with.
I would like to see them take break-ins more seriously than they do. My place was robbed repeatedly one year. What if I caught the guy while he was back again?
He could have clocked me. Maybe even killed me so I could not identify them. I think that's a little more important than running after teenagers with weed.

No, not at all. "Morals" are relative. You may think it is immoral to use illegal drugs. I on the other hand see nothing morally wrong with smoking pot...whose moral are we going to rule on? In this particular case the government sides with it being immoral.
I don't want someone else's moral defining what I can and can not do in my life.

Yes, but the law must be fair and formulated within a democratic framework.
Some laws are unjust, and the legal and political systems should allow laws to be challenged.

It already does. It is illegal to murder, steal, rape, rob, injury, burglarize, use illegal substances, have sex with a minor, etc. These are all moral conduct issues.

Nudist colonies exist,and it's not illegal to use drugs,only to posses or distribute them,unless your operating under influence.
