So you would have been morally justified to return escaped slaves back in the day? The moral thing to do would be to just focus on getting the law changed?
Not even sure how you got from "let a dying men take some marijuana" to "return slaves" ...
Seems really straightforward to me. You implied that following the law whilst attempting to change it is always the moral thing to do. I provided a simple counterexample. I’m not equating the degree of immorality.
