"It is if you are arguing that current laws are unjust. "
Heyzeus, I'm wary that people could reasonably be making this kind of argument.
In an authoritarian nightmare, sure.
But in most places, that's the deal with the law, it's not a perfect fit.
If you allow people to define it as they think it should be, it's not going to work.
There's is a 100% chance that someone in your neighbourhood thinks he should be able to keep machine guns and more advanced weapons for whatever reasons. And probably some who think that if you are on their property for whatever reason, they can use 'lethal force'.
Etc..
That's why we don't get to say "I want to use crypto for the criminal things that I don't think should be criminal!"
Obviously proportionality applies, but still.
I'm wary of government oversight, but it's best if we as citizens try to be a bit responsible with the systems we have at our disposal.
That said, I'm not sure someone having a bit of weed should freak anyone out (i.e. proportionality).

And probably some who think that if you are on their property for whatever reason, they can use 'lethal force'. Both are common beliefs where I am and I happen to agree with them. I don’t think this is a fair example, it negatively characterizes legal hypotheticals.
