Who here thinks that society has a narrow interpretation of the 1st amendment?

What I mean is that the first amendment is the first and more crucial one that is meant to represent a true democracy, meaning that people should be allowed to say, express themselves, and do whatever they want as long as they are not hurting someone else. It just seems like the context of the amendment is constantly being misinterpreted hence the supreme court upholding these disgraceful animals protesting at military. Yet its looks at as forbidden for people to do things in their home that involve no harm to others such as smoking weed, looking at obscene material, or anything else that is censored. Imposing all these restrictions on what people can and cant do as long as it doesn't harm anyone else certainly doesn't seem conducive to a free country but yet should fall inline with the first amendment.
