If you approve of a "rebellion" against this law, as opposed to just some democratic change of legislation, I wonder how would you handle other regulative norms... If the US decides to allow selling Kinder eggs should we reward the previous smugglers?
Of course this assumes that you don't expand your definition of "human rights" to include the absolute right of consuming cannabis. But, you see, it's difficult enough to agree that the right not to be killed for your religion is a fundamental human right. We got there thankfully but not without hiccups. When you expand "human rights" to include everything you want you are making that expression controversial end devoid of value - because less and less people will agree with you.
Don't forget a large part of the American Revolution exactly dealt with these kinds of material "regulations", to which the American people and British government disagreed were an issue of human rights.
