***Id like to add, however, that not only drugs support terrorist groups, but human trafficking and basically any other international crime does, as well.

Those guys are paying bigger bucks to the "g"s above them, who are getting it from texas, (or mexico), south america, or even europe. Those guys are dealing in the cookies, upwards of 25,000 and up. Look at Pablo Escobar. He was a saint in his country cuz he used his drug money to take care of people in the community. In america, he was just a drug dealer. But he had enough money to fund whatever he wanted. After all, he had the power AND the money. Do your research, folks.
Actually, this is true. Look at it this way. Youre an informant working in Jacksonville, FL in narcotics. You buy cocaine (which is a natural drug, (unlike crack,) harmless, like marijuana..(which caused the Amtrack accident of 1997, killing 16)...irrelevant, i know...) from local drug dealers. You pay anywhere from 20 bucks to 200 dollars for some coke. But where did they get it? Probably nearby, as they dont travel too far with it on them. Lets say...Miami. Atlanta. Virginia.
So lets say this argument is true, completely true(it isn't).
Okay so with this completely true and accurate argument the US government would be funding terrorism by keeping it illegal and not making the sales done locally, all for what? Knowingly damaging themselves at the worst? It seems other arguments are not working so they tried this crap.
It is settled, the US government wants you to fund terrorism or they would change the laws, they are a party funding terrorism by proxy as well.
They say "terrorists", which I'm assuming they're associating with the Mexican drug cartel. No one smokes Mexican weed due to it sucking from being massively grown in a field with hundreds of male plants.
Also, legalizing drugs and allowing a legal market to form around it would take billions of dollars away from the cartel and other big dealers in America, and give those billions of dollars to the government and economy.
oh so you are saying that if i sell the marijuana that grows in my backyard for pure profit that I am funding terrorists? Go fuck yourself. Most marijuana used in the US (where this ad is targeted) Is grown in the US. The majority of the remainder is from Mexico. If you want to talk about drugs funding terrorists, talk cocaine or opium. I can't believe the shit people say these days. Pump us full of fear, over a wonderful substance that in all likelihood will cause them little or no or no harm
The Patriot Act has been used for drug cases 1,618 times. For fraud it has been used 122 times. Now for it's intended purpose terrorism, it has been used a whopping 15 times. Now if drugs support terrorism, why do US troops guard the opium fields.
We don't run the country anymore people. Many foreign people have a negative view of Americans. We don't vote for this shit though. It's not us. Fear and greed has robbed us of our better judgement. The real criminals are in control.
Annnnnd propaganda notwithstanding--ten years and about a trillion dollars later the Taliban is *still* growing poppy in Afghanistan.

Here's the kicker: any moron knows how dirty money gets dirty. You've driven all the capital underground by making an IN-DEMAND GOOD OR SERVICE illegal. Legalize the merchandise, and suddenly--every transaction becomes taxable. No more dirty money.
It does support terrorism, AKA the US government. Take your money, make you stupid/dead on drugs, and if you don't die they send the feds to imprison you. Mass control. Solution? DONT do drugs!! SIMPLE!
Today our troops protect the opium farmers in Afghanistan just legalize and the terrorist have no money and people can save money on medicine for penny's a pound.
Yes, drug money does fund terrorists and drug cartels, why? BECAUSE DRUGS ARE ILLEGAL. If drugs were legal the revenue gained from their inevitable sale would land in the hands of legitimate businesses, and by default some of that money would go to the government, helping to revitalize our mangled economy. Those who enforce prohibition have no right to use the argument that drug money funds terrorists, it's their fault that it does.
This guy is fucking retarded. If drug money really does support terrorism it's because of prohibition. If you could go down to the gas station to buy your bud then the money would go to honest, hard working people, not gangs and drug dealers.
American marijuana comes from Mexico, Columbia, Northern California. It does not come from Middle Eastern Nations. Gasoline consumption and US foreign occupation policies fuel terrorism. Afghanistan produces about 75 percent of the world's supply of opium and opium is far more lucrative than weed will ever be.
Anyway, this video and it's message all US propaganda bull!@#$. It is time to stop the war and decriminalize (not legalize) marijuana. Enough said. Peace.

Marijuana doesn't fund terrorism. The Government funds terrorism. America gave funding and training to Osama's "freedom fighters" back in the 1980s for fighting against the Soviet Union. 25 years later, he's using our weapons and tactics against us.
When you don't have any facts to back up your case, you resort to ridiculous scaremongering like this laughable clip.
The Taliban deal in opium which becomes heroin. They get a percentage from heroin, not marijuana, mushrooms, lsd, ecstasy, etc. Not all drugs are the same and I know for a fact that bin laden isn't growing my weed.
@JeffreyRodriguez I agree I want to be able to go to mexico without the fear of being blown to bits. If some idiots still want to mess themselves up with meth and cocaine after being educated let them but innocent people who want no part in drugs shouldnt suffer.
Government schedules drugs for profits and something to keep the soldiers busy. Want to stop drugs coming the US talk to the Pentagon and the arms dealers.
our laws rely on people being afraid of the punishment in order to work. Ain't that terrorism? Come on America, wake up and puff your day away, cause that's where the true War on Terror is happening.
I know where my weed grows, and it's not grown by terrorists.
In the cases in which drug money actually does fund terrorism or violent crime, the only reason it does is because drugs are under prohibition. If we regulated and controlled the sale of drugs instead of relying on the black-market to do it for us, there'd be next to no crime associated with drugs, as the profits would be controlled by governments and legitimate businesses instead of criminals and potentially terrorists.
If drugs were legalized and regulated in a way that corresponds with their respective levels of risk, the only terrorists that would be supported by drug use would be the CIA, and I'll take them over Al Qaeda anyday.
@rosaryfilms Choosing to make drugs illegal is optional. Are we sitting here arguing about alcohol-revenue terrorists? No -- because it's legal, and thus, the supply is governmentally regulated and run by legally-bound businesses. It's on the up-and-up, which destroyed the mob control that was prevalent during Prohibition.
So, your arguement is that drug users are the problem because they *might* fund 10% of terrorism whle government funding 90% is no biggie?
haha our weed funds terrorism? the weed i buy allows people to have jobs at medical marijuana clinics, or allows a college kid to buy beer for the night.
you know what funds terrorism? besides our tax dollars ,, heroin. 70% of the worls raw opium comes from afghanistan. That is tens of billions firectly into the pockets of the terrorist. the same people we are spending billions of dollars fighting.
legalize everything, if you dont control what you put in your body, you dont own your body
weed doesnt fund terrorism. shut the fuck up it never has and it never will. The muslim extremists are against all narcatics including: Weed, Opium, Cocaine, alcohol ex. so they wouldn't use it to sell and make money. u have no idea what the hell ur talking about
Americans druggies in Florida can't stop receiving, buying and doing illegal hard drugs like the south american Cocaine smuggled illegally from communist cuba.
Well, if Uncle Sam would just legalize and regulate drugs, it would cut the drug cartels off at the knees, and our gov would get the money instead of the terrorists.
But the gov likes to create enemies just so it can flex it's muscles and arrest/kill nonviolent people.
ROFL yah it is true that drug money funds terrorism ... but what they froget to explain is why this happens ... the reason this happens is cause the drugs are illegal ... if they were legal than it would be business women and business men that get the money
prohibition funds terrorism. Every time a U.S. Representative or Senator gets another draconian law passed in the war on drugs the people in the drug cartels squeal with ecstasy. Prohibition keeps the price of drugs high.DEA knows it.Congress knows it.
Law Enforcement Against Prohibition has the right idea.
And I don't think it's very far out on the conspiracy branch to think that drug cartels funnel tons of money into the campaigns of politicians of choice
and if you think that I'm wrong... then I must with a due respect say you're a think-less idiot. sounds pompous I know but this is one of the few things that I'm 100% sure of.
Well if it where legal it would fund our interest but alas the douche bags in charge want to criminalize it and therefore not only does it potentially fund terror it also gives gangs and thugs on the street a reason to perpetrate violence and killing for the "rights" to sell on the quintessential street corner in any town USA. fucking assholes and their Bull shit Anti drug wasted money campaign. the answer is to legalize drugs and treat the addicts.
"Illegal" drug-money funds terrorism. If cigarettes & alcohol were illegal, they would probably fund cartels and terrorism too. (Al Capone) The only reason they don't fund crime organizations is because they are legal and responsibly regulated. Wake up, people!
ha actually my name is Lillie. and actually im a bit too young to be drinking and smoking. And to tell you the truth, this is just what i believe. if you dont agree with me then u dont agree with me. i. dont. care. just because i don't believe in something that u do doesnt mean im wrong or you're wrong. okay?
You are just proving to me that I am right, you are to young to know, and to understand, and its most likely not YOU'RE opinion, as much of that of you're elders, wich you record and repeat without knowing the half of it, kid.
actually this proves no one is right. I believe that i am right and u believe that you are right. people like you are so narrow minded they think that just because your older that you automatically know what you're talking about. I have a brain. im smart enough to make my own judgment. you dont know me. if you did then i would accept your accusation. but you dont. I think ive been through enough to know how much drugs can affect everyone. and yes, i do think all drugs are bad
Just digging you're grave.. You clearly do not see how stupid and pathetic you're arguments are. All drugs are bad? That is a pathetic thing to say, even you're parents would agree. Ever heard of Insulin? Saves peoples lives everyday. Drugs do more good than they do bad, as soon as you can understand that its a step in the right direction. Aspirin is a drug, when did drug become a bad word in you're vocabulairy?
ok so if your sooooo smart ... why would you want to add more harm to an already harmful substance ?
i can go on for days about this subject ... your saying drugs are bad ... but throwing someone in jail for smoking weed or even doing crack ... is worse .. they lose their job, home , kids. Their kids dont get to see them nor do they get to have a dad and mom anymore just cause they smoked some weed ? even crack if used responsibly isnt bad .. just like booze
that makes noooooo sense. i have so many people i know who do drugs and u know what? after some of them went to jail they were sober and drugfree. id rather see someone go to jail rather than be doing drugs. ha crack? u know what, maybe some people can "handle" it but imagine what its doin to their body.
lol they could have went to rehab and so on ... if we took the money we spend on arresting drug users we could use it to treat them and do proper research on these drugs ... along with educate the public on the real harms of drugs... when i was in school they told me drugs were bad just say no .... they also made marijuana seem as bad as crack cocaine ... i found out marijuana was harmless(death wise) then i thought to myself "what else did they lie to me about" and jail doesnt work for everyone
look, i don't like the thought of doing weed but if it floats ur boat thats ok. its just the other drugs i have problems with. i know jail doesnt work for anyone but either does rehab. i've seen about 10 people go to rehab and they've gone 5 or 6 times. but u know... i see ur point
The person has to want to change .. i have only known one guy that did crack and he went to rehab and hasnt touched it since .. he had to go in 3 times but the last time he had his mind set and didnt leave.
But in the end it all really comes down to freedom. we are only on this earth for a short time who has the right to tell me what i can enjoy and what i cant.
what has the drug war accomplished ? NOTHING .. the drugs are still on the street ... hell i even get a delivery service with mine
What makes you think going to jail makes people stop doing drugs? Often times they come out with worse drug problems than they did coming in. Also, because of the huge mark they have on their record and gap in their resume, they have less chance to turn their life around.
In the early 1980's, my parents sent their little kid (me) to the cornerstore to buy them cigarettes. I didn't smoke them back then, and I don't smoke them now.
Well, aren't you just the little free-thinker. Too bad you don't even have a clue about what you're talking about. I grew up around two types of people: people who smoke pot, and people who do harmful drugs (sometimes in addition to marijuana). What was the difference between them? The group who only smoked pot had jobs and families, and were happy even when they weren't smoking. The other group? Their lives were screwed. They cared about nothing except getting their meth/heroin/cocaine fix.
It amazes me how people believe in propaganda from the Partnership For A Drug-Free America, when that organization is funded by the booze and tobacco companies. Pot competes with tobacco and booze. THAT is the reason pot is illegal. Besides, who profits from the phony War on Drugs and the phony War on Terror? The government. Both wars are used to take away our freedoms and ensure that the government-funded terrorism and drug experts have a monopoly.
Ha! Funny. Now the US is pushing the Merida Initiative to train Mexican soldiers/terrorists to crack down on Mexican drug cartels.
It's more like if you buy certain drugs (namely cocaine, heroin, meth) you support Mexican drug cartels that kill hundreds of women in Ciudad Juarez and murder officials.
Most of the low-grade marijuana comes from Mexico. You could make an argument stating that buying heroin supports terrorism (Afghanistan), but marijuana? Drug cartels maybe.
i would argue that the mexican cartels are actually terrorists also because they intimdate, coerce and force for their own poltical agenda through the use of violence or threat of violence in the form of kidnappings and murders that occur on a daily basis. Purchasing illeceit drugs supports terrorism, corruption and the destabalisation of governments world wide.
Remember when they aired those commercials after 9/11 saying that buying marijuana supports terrorism? The context didn't have to do with people like Pablo Escobar--they were referring to bin Laden.
If you find out when this commercial was made it would give a huge clue to the context. I've never heard of the narcotraffickers being referred to as "terrorists." Remember that barely 20 years ago we helped the Contras sell cocaine to fund their war against the Sandanistas.
Drugs support criminals because drugs are illegal. Making them illegal does not eliminate demand - The US learned that with the alcohol prohibition - instead, it merely shifts production of these substances into the hands of criminals. If drug users are supporting "terrorists" then they can only be doing so because those "terrorists" are the group willing to supply drugs due to their illegality. Drug users did not choose that supply chain - The government did when it chose prohibition.
JeffreyRodriguez, so, are you saying that after you legalize Meth for young people, that you simply teach them that Meth is bad for them, and then they would not buy the legal Meth?
Similar to alcohol and tobacco. Still, instead of simply trying to scare people into doing what you want, tell them the truth about why something is bad.
A great many illegal drugs are relatively harmless. A great many legal drugs are extremely harmful. People don't take SSRIs and MAOIs, because they'll kill you dead. Legalize, regulate, educate.
JeffreyRodriguez, I've read Thoreau. But that is beside the point. When a person buys illegal drugs, that money spent goes into someone's hands --- and sometimes into the wrong hands.
It's not beside the point, that's exactly the point I was trying to make.
We can agree though, that sometimes drug money goes to bad people. The South American ones concern me more than the middle eastern "terrorists".
Your answer is "don't buy them", and I think that's naive, evidenced by the fact we've tried that for 30 years and they're more popular than ever. My answer is "legalize and regulate them" since people are clearly going to buy them anyway.
Crystal Meth = Adderall. The pharmaceutical industry feeds the same drug to kids with ADD.
Get over yourself.
Yes, crystal meth is bad for you. So is alcohol, tobacco, and fast food. However, prohibition clearly isn't deterring its use - it is only putting poor quality meth into the hands of people who are now criminalized - and at a profit to the drug lords who supply it.
The the US Government support terrorism by not decriminalizing pot.
ALL Corrupted Propoganda, all the corrupted official need to just die at once and we can run the country how it shoudl be run, and thrive to new height that the US is afraid of.
If God is real, and not the God that stand fro Great Oil Desception, then God shoudl really come down and eliminate these ass hole starting with Bush. Pull him high in the sky and drop the little bitch and make sure it televised.
TERRORISM! Just a word that was hugely exploited upon people of the middle-east! The media has made you think that the terrorists aren't anything but that, when in fact, do all of you forget how many terrorist acts were committed on U.S. soil by U.S. citizens??? GIVEMEABREAK!!!!! pull your head out
If it was legal it wouldent fund such things. It would derasticly drecrease crime. Beacuse desperate people do desperate things such as rob banks to get monet for it. If it was legal 1. It would be easyer to obtain. 2. It would be much cheaper. Im talking about completely legal. The laws against weed hurt america. Thats what I think.
Hey- know what would stop that money getting into the hands of terrorists? If all drugs were legalised, allowing pharmaceutical companies to manufacture clean (and taxable) drugs.
Also, if the CIA stopped funding organisations which later get classed as terrorist groups. That'd probably help too.
Terrorism: The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.
So many ideological groups (social, political, religious) fall under such a definition. Even ones that may be popular to one society but not particularly another. That word FORCE really makes it broad.What kind of force? Propaganda videos? Perhaps
Drug money has funded the CIA for 40 years. Iran-Contra; educate yourself on US history. Why was Oliver North, your fox news war veteran, in prison before he made it big on prime time news? He admitted to helping smuggle drugs in dead soldiers bodies for the CIA. Heroin production now at an all time high in Afghanistan, now that we're there.
And we know that drug money funds terrorism because the government says it does, right? right? wait... When has the government lied before... when has the gover... OH RIGHT, Black Wall Street (a rich sector of omaha, primarily black, which was firebombed by the US government in the late 1800s), Atom bombing Japan (Truman said Hiroshima was a 'strictly military' target), Watergate, Waco, and that's only what we know about...
forgive me, if i don't believe liars and murderers...
P.S: In 1990, the average tax on a pack of cigarettes was 25 cents. Ten years later it was 45 cents. As tobacco excise taxes grew, so did the incentive for smugglers. Today, one carton of cigarettes purchased in North Carolina can be smuggled into Manhattan for a $30 profit.
Newspapers in 2002 reported that terrorist organizations were profiting from tobacco smuggling, once the exclusive domain of organized crime.
P.P.S: Should this be true, about drug money funding terrorism, then why doesn't the government LEGALIZE IT and take money away from terrorists? People will never just STOP smoking marijuana. That's just not going to happen, so why don't they weaken the terrorists while strengthening themselves? They must really love terrorists with all these ads.
Since when does Americans buy marijuana from Iran? Prohibition of alcohol created the organized criminals, black market and gangs that are now using drug prohibition to make the big bucks and terrising american neigborhoods, please get educated to the truth people.
It doesn't matter who it is; anyone, ever, any place, any time, no matter what the circumstances, who says that me paying my pothead neighbour $5/gram for pot from one of his three homegrown plants is the same thing as funding terrorism is instantly the stupidest, most ignorant person in human history, and should not be allowed to coexist with other sentient, thinking human beings on this planet. No exceptions.
afgan poppies into heron .where do you think that maney goes?to build new schools in afganistan? or do you think it buys bombs and bullets to kill americans?and they have a bigger and biger harvest every year.
The opium harvest has increased since the US ousted the Taliban, who were trying to slow down opium production to inflate the prices of their own opium reserves. Besides that, many Afghan farmers have no choice but to grow poppies, grow anything else and they can't afford to feed themselves. If you leave their country alone they'll no longer be 'terrorists', just Afghans.
Where do you think the pharmasutical companies get most of thier ingredients for their pain control drugs?? Our government buys more drugs from them than the crimminals do.

American marijuana comes from Mexico, Columbia, Northern California. It does not come from Middle Eastern Nations. Gasoline consumption and US foreign occupation policies fuel terrorism. Afghanistan produces about 75 percent of the world's supply of opium and opium is far more lucrative than weed will ever be.
Anyway, this video and it's message all US propaganda bull!@#$. It is time to stop the war and decriminalize (not legalize) marijuana. Enough said. Peace.

Marijuana doesn't fund terrorism. The Government funds terrorism. America gave funding and training to Osama's "freedom fighters" back in the 1980s for fighting against the Soviet Union. 25 years later, he's using our weapons and tactics against us.

When you don't have any facts to back up your case, you resort to ridiculous scaremongering like this laughable clip.
The Taliban deal in opium which becomes heroin. They get a percentage from heroin, not marijuana, mushrooms, lsd, ecstasy, etc. Not all drugs are the same and I know for a fact that bin laden isn't growing my weed.

I know where my weed grows, and it's not grown by terrorists.
In the cases in which drug money actually does fund terrorism or violent crime, the only reason it does is because drugs are under prohibition. If we regulated and controlled the sale of drugs instead of relying on the black-market to do it for us, there'd be next to no crime associated with drugs, as the profits would be controlled by governments and legitimate businesses instead of criminals and potentially terrorists.

If drugs were legalized and regulated in a way that corresponds with their respective levels of risk, the only terrorists that would be supported by drug use would be the CIA, and I'll take them over Al Qaeda anyday.

@rosaryfilms Choosing to make drugs illegal is optional. Are we sitting here arguing about alcohol-revenue terrorists? No -- because it's legal, and thus, the supply is governmentally regulated and run by legally-bound businesses. It's on the up-and-up, which destroyed the mob control that was prevalent during Prohibition.
So, your arguement is that drug users are the problem because they *might* fund 10% of terrorism whle government funding 90% is no biggie?

Well, aren't you just the little free-thinker. Too bad you don't even have a clue about what you're talking about. I grew up around two types of people: people who smoke pot, and people who do harmful drugs (sometimes in addition to marijuana). What was the difference between them? The group who only smoked pot had jobs and families, and were happy even when they weren't smoking. The other group? Their lives were screwed. They cared about nothing except getting their meth/heroin/cocaine fix.

Ha! Funny. Now the US is pushing the Merida Initiative to train Mexican soldiers/terrorists to crack down on Mexican drug cartels.
It's more like if you buy certain drugs (namely cocaine, heroin, meth) you support Mexican drug cartels that kill hundreds of women in Ciudad Juarez and murder officials.
Most of the low-grade marijuana comes from Mexico. You could make an argument stating that buying heroin supports terrorism (Afghanistan), but marijuana? Drug cartels maybe.
angrynadya 3 years ago
i would argue that the mexican cartels are actually terrorists also because they intimdate, coerce and force for their own poltical agenda through the use of violence or threat of violence in the form of kidnappings and murders that occur on a daily basis. Purchasing illeceit drugs supports terrorism, corruption and the destabalisation of governments world wide.
jaket88 3 years ago
Remember when they aired those commercials after 9/11 saying that buying marijuana supports terrorism? The context didn't have to do with people like Pablo Escobar--they were referring to bin Laden.
If you find out when this commercial was made it would give a huge clue to the context. I've never heard of the narcotraffickers being referred to as "terrorists." Remember that barely 20 years ago we helped the Contras sell cocaine to fund their war against the Sandanistas.
angrynadya 3 years ago
Drugs support criminals because drugs are illegal. Making them illegal does not eliminate demand - The US learned that with the alcohol prohibition - instead, it merely shifts production of these substances into the hands of criminals. If drug users are supporting "terrorists" then they can only be doing so because those "terrorists" are the group willing to supply drugs due to their illegality. Drug users did not choose that supply chain - The government did when it chose prohibition.

Similar to alcohol and tobacco. Still, instead of simply trying to scare people into doing what you want, tell them the truth about why something is bad.
A great many illegal drugs are relatively harmless. A great many legal drugs are extremely harmful. People don't take SSRIs and MAOIs, because they'll kill you dead. Legalize, regulate, educate.

Crystal Meth = Adderall. The pharmaceutical industry feeds the same drug to kids with ADD.
Get over yourself.
Yes, crystal meth is bad for you. So is alcohol, tobacco, and fast food. However, prohibition clearly isn't deterring its use - it is only putting poor quality meth into the hands of people who are now criminalized - and at a profit to the drug lords who supply it.

Terrorism: The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons.
So many ideological groups (social, political, religious) fall under such a definition. Even ones that may be popular to one society but not particularly another. That word FORCE really makes it broad.What kind of force? Propaganda videos? Perhaps

P.S: In 1990, the average tax on a pack of cigarettes was 25 cents. Ten years later it was 45 cents. As tobacco excise taxes grew, so did the incentive for smugglers. Today, one carton of cigarettes purchased in North Carolina can be smuggled into Manhattan for a $30 profit.
Newspapers in 2002 reported that terrorist organizations were profiting from tobacco smuggling, once the exclusive domain of organized crime.
so go after smuggled tobacco then.
