I am as unconvinced that morality has
nothing to do with morality as I am that the law is designed to dictate and enforce morality. The law against murdering people would seem to have something to do with the moral prohibition on killing innocent people, whilst the possession of small amounts of cannabis is, in some jurisdictions, illegal but would seem to have no moral component - not everything that is immoral is illegal and not everything that is illegal is immoral and not everything that is moral is legal.
