Hi, this is more of a general question regarding utilitarianism rather than EA in specific.
For context, I know a person who knows a person who knows another person who does cocaine. I do not personally know the person that does cocaine. We are all students at a university.
On one hand, I believe it is morally right to report said person (although I am not sure how I would be able to report said person) because cocaine is very harmful and I am guessing buying cocaine funds very bad people (like cartels ).
On the other hand, I believe reporting a person doing drugs can lead to harsh consequences (getting expelled from university, and going to jail), so I don’t know.
Admittedly, I am biased to remain uninvolved because I feel uncomfortable to get involved in this scenario.
[Question] Should I Report A Cocaine User?

What is the morally righteous choice here?
