> Last time I checked people are free to marry whoever they please.

Untrue, though closer to true than it was five years ago. I mean, gender restrictions are gone, but consanguinity restrictions remain (most people may agree with them, but that doesn't mean they aren't restrictions beyond mutual consent of the parties.)

> Marijuana is legal in the majority of states.

While this is frequently stated, it is sloppy and inaccurate; marijuana is legal in zero states. Many states do not have additional state level criminalization of some subset of cultivation, sale, use, and possession of marijuana on top of the federal prohibition, but that doesn't make it legal in those states in th same way that states not having additional state-level criminalization of lying to a federal officer doesn't make that legal in those states.

(And, in any case, marijuana isn't the only substance prohibited to adults in the US.)

Consanguinity isn't the only restriction on who can marry who- polyamorists still can't marry multiple partners in the US, thus they cannot marry whoever they please.
