If you think about how cheep it really is to produce mass amounts of drugs why do cartels, terrorist groups, and governments just decriminalize all drug use ? Because we live in a addiction based economy i would like to blame capitalism! we are all forced to use $ if you don't want to well your homeless or living off family members. what is it about drugs that some how its all good to support people who use extreme violent tactics? then why don't we just source them locally with some sort of gray area instead of fueling the war machine ! well we know why and we don't. Money and what it buys is the fuel that creates the real violence, and $ is to blame. my main point is if it were at least decriminalized we could at least keep the capitalistic madness local and out of so called terrorist hands. I like drugs and don't want to support violence. I think every dollar i spend can support this crazy shit we call the free world. it sure is not free when you think about it.
Do you feel like you support terrorism by buying drugs or is prohibition too blame??

Well put.I just use my own prescriptions nowadays so I'm supporting big pharma.Even when I had a raging heroin addiction I never felt like I was supporting terrorism because if they really wanted to governments could slow the importation of drugs to a trickle.Uncle Sam definitely has got a hand in the cookie jar for this market.Iran/Contra scandal ring a bell?I wrote a fairly long post going into this in more detail somewhere on this site and it's true.A good chunk of every bag of smack,every gram of caine,and every ounce of weed you buy goes to your own government.

I feel like I more support profiteering.
"Any drug worth being taken should not be sold for a profit." -Hunter S. Thompson I believe around when he was running for sheriff in Aspen,CO.

No I don't. The individuals/organizations that are supporting/funding/arming groups like the Islamic state IMO are supporting/funding terrorism.

No they couldn't, not without putting a tremendous burden on/crippling the economy. For example, all of the cocaine needed to supply the cocaine using population of the United Kingdom for a year could fit in one shipping container.
Now think about how many shipping containers go through UK ports annually.

I see your point and I hear what you're saying.I was merely pointing out the level and depth of government intervention and control in the lives of the people.I was specifically thinking of the US.I don't know about the UK since Ive never been there.But I grew up in a major port city in Southeastern VA and I can tell you that a single shipping container,even full of pure raw could not supply the demand for cocaine or heroin in my home city alone.If the US government can listen to and record every phone conversation (they're building a huge complex out west somewhere to house the info,it was all over the news last year after it was leaked they were doing this ) I honestly believe they could seriously put a major crimp in the drug flow.But I do see what you mean.Where there is demand there will be supply.And,at least in the US,the government lets a lot of drugs get through,just like we did in the 80s letting the Contra rebels ship large ammounts of cocaine over here to finance their war.As far as who funds terrorism,remember it was the US government who armed and trained the Taliban when Russia invaded Afghanistan in 79.

No, I don't support terrorism. If I could have a nice chemistry lab and the freedom to grow the plants of my choice, I wouldn't support anyone else with my drug use either - I'd make my own, things you can't buy, and I'd let all my friends have some too.
I am pretty sure the weed I smoke is grown in the USA but the moneymakers in the corrupt scheme are the prohibitionists problem. They created it and they need to fix it by ending prohibition.
The research chemicals come from Chinese and European chemical sellers who probably have no dealings at all with terrorists and drug cartels, so that is in the clear.
Popping pills won't put money in the hands of terrorists. I get them from people I know who either use part or none of prescriptions I like or rarely trade something for better pills.
I could shamelessly shoot smack produced by Al Qaeda if I were inclined to do that and they made what I was buying. It is not my fault the government wants to control my body and what I put in it that harms nobody but maybe me. And I'm sure if I stopped using drugs, the number of terrorists and terrorist attacks would go down 8) /sarcasm.

I remember in the early 80's buying pucks of Afghan hash with "smoke the russians out" stamped on them in gold leaf, how times have changed.
Yeah because when your in the depths of a heroin beige your totally involved in real world issues ! Like getting more heroin
That's the change obama was running on man yea who cares about anything remotely important involving the repercussions of my actions ! heroin addiction causes HEP C HIV and death ! nothing we as humans can do about that ! so fuck it right ! If it was regulated safely and most of all cleanly ! people could get high without spreading death and disease ! oooo but you know what fuck it ! all real change happens at the grassroot level but guess what fuck it !

I'm not trying to hate on ya man i was just in a ranting mode that day! I just think there should be a place you can go to get clean IV tools aka rigs and 100% pure Heroin that way you know exactly what your getting and its locally produced for next to nothing ! as well as knowing your not endangering yourself with possible disease and unknown quality, unknown strength of H ! therefor you get to get high without supporting violent groups and decreasing the financial burden to the medical industry! its a win win for everyone. there are programs like this in the Uk, Sweden i think ! and its a huge success, but even there is under serviced!
