What about the right to free association? Suppose you had a girl/boyfriend that was using drugs, unbeknownst to you, and that this was a deal-breaker for you. Who would argue that you have no legal right to break up with them once you found out?
You have a moral right to choose the people you hang around, because the consequences to your own life can be disastrous. Can you imagine landing in jail (and the incredible strain of testifying in a trial) because you were used by your friends as a getaway driver, without your knowledge? This kind of thing actually happens in real life: http://www.mainlinemedianews.com/articles/2014/07/18/main_line_times/news/doc53c90720bf986205030311.txt http://www.mainlinemedianews.com/articles/2014/07/18/main_li...
Given that each of us has the right to associate freely on a personal basis, why should that right be so blithely ignored when the relationship in question involves money?
Granted, pot is not nearly as dangerous as other drugs can be (including alcohol.) However, the whole question of the danger involved is best decided by the individual, not the group. After all, it is your life that's on the line when dealing with others, not the group's.
