This goes for smoking a plant.
Non-compliance with a rule that harms no one.
Many other things.
We would live in a better world if a majority of people lived by the non-aggression principle. If people didn't cheer when the state attacks people they don't like. People that don't like them. It never stops unless we grow beyond this mindset.
If you as an individual would not be justified in doing an action to another individual doing something then no state or company should be able to do it.
If I see my neighbor smoking a plant but I think this is wrong and bad for him, it what world does that justify my going over to his house and taking it from him. If two people want to exchange a good or service what business is it of mine? But most people think nothing of having the police use violence to force people to do or not do many things. Things they would never do themselves. There's a reason why they wouldn't do it themselves. Its wrong. If they did they would be the ones in a cage.

I have a similar thought about calling the cops on people. Unless you think someone deserves to be shot for what they're doing, you should not call the cops on them.
I think calling the cops is morally equivalent to pointing a loaded gun at someone, which you shouldn't do to anyone who doesn't deserve to be shot.
