Not necessarily trying to stop them, but certainly intending to prevent their poor choices from affecting me and mine. See how that works? Its called society. Individual Liberty must be tempered by love for your neighbor, unless you are a narcissistic or psychopathic type....
My husband gave a ride to an acquaintance of a friend when we were in Colorado. He took him to work at the medical marijuana dispensary . This was about in 2015 or so. My husband asked him about how do they dispense and the guy pulled out a 3 fold pamphlet and showed him this chart for different complaints. Scary.

“Its called society”
One of the inherent problems of living in a society, I’d say.
Good luck with that.
Almost everything anyone does "affects" someone else; the proper test for government force is the narrower "violation of rights" (cf. the Declaration of Independence), which pot sale and use are not.
