its true that money from drugs does fuel terrorism, but so many people use that as an arguement to crack down on drugs. Didn't anyone ever consider that most drug seizures happen after the first deal has been made and therefore you are not taking money from terrorists, but you are infact just raising the demand so they can make more money faster?
 
Typically drug siezures happen well after passing through a few hands. What evidence do you have though that proves drugs fuel terrorism?
 
I think he's referencing possible government propaganda. I've seen things like that here in the UK, including "Pirate DVDs fund terrorism".
 
Pirate DVDs fund terror .. lol ..thats just the kind of insanity our govs think we'll believe.. Terrorism is sponsored by our govs of course, drugs are too. Look at Afganstn as it is now, opium is their chief export. This suits the gov here in the US just fine. A little money in to growing a problem, and a whole lot coming back in thru the DEA, FBI, etc. from "fixing" that same problem that they created.

yes drug money probably goes to support terrorists. but so does buying a pint in some pubs or a donation to a charity, or buying a rug, or paying to get your dick sucked or any other financial transaction.
 
Yes drugs in Afghanistan are Talib (Taliban remember them? Same group) controlled. They do cop a profit from opium sales within their nations and since they are a 'terror' group if you look at it the way the guv'ment would like you to see it yes by purchasing drugs you are sort of... kinda funding terrorism.

However if you buy oil or gas or any petrol products I can promise you you've contributed more than you could ever imagine...

Exactly, a wide range of products contribute to terrorism. Shit, religion and money from it fuels terrorism. The whole drugs fuel terrorism is just another exploitable knee jerk cheapshot at drug use. Sadly many people don't examine the claim and just run with it...
 
yeh drogs do fuel terrorism.

you have the FARC in colombia who operate in cocaine smuggling etc, various
arab terrorists group which deal with opium, hash, heroin to earn money for their
fight for stupidity :P

afaik the terrorist attacks in madrid 2003 were financed through an exstasy deal
(do a search in google and you may find some sources to that)

is it immoral to consume drugs and "help" those fuckers?
nope not for me

I will use punctuation in my post's next time... I will use punctuation and some degree of proper grammar.

I'd say ANY black market commodity will in one way or another have the possibility to fund 'terrorist'.
 
The fact that drugs are illegal and therefore fuel problems such as this is what's really immoral imo.

Indeed. If drugs were regulated by our governments they could easily put shady cartels and what not out of bussiness. Why buy street heroin when you could buy pharmacutical grade at a fraction of the price to boot. A lot of problems would dissapear if drugs were made legal.
 
If you wish to know what drugs really fuel and how I suggest you read this.

lol, thats pretty much what milton freidman said :>
 
i didnt mean what i said as arguing about what funds terrorism or anything of that sort. I ment it as something to contest claims that governments make when they say that by making their huge seizures, that they are taking money out of terrorists hands.
 
It's pure hypocritical insanity

The government:
thinks drug users are a problem
thinks terrorists are a problem
supports the black market by keeping drugs illegal
helped fund 'terrorists' by giving money DIRECTLY to them
bombs innocents alongside them regardless of all of i

Looks like some here have the idea.
The US gov imports opium, heroin and coke to fund black ops. They then declare drug users to be a scourge so therefore enacting a control on them. Problem, reaction, solution.
So actually instead of funding retail terrorism (Al Qaeda, IRA) illegal drugs wind up funding wholesale terrorism (US gov, CIA, DHS, Mossad). When large busts are seen, it's usually the initial agencies clamping down on the competition or offering up token busts to seem as they are combating the drug traffickers.
Most ecstasy in the US is run in by Israeli and Russian mafias so that funding goes to Zionists (not a racist comment here, just stating a fact) and Mossad .
Marijuana comes into the US from all over but mainly South American cartels. They don't engage in terrorist activity in the US but they sure aren't nice guys to folks in their own country.

Technically that claim of drugs funding terrorism is correct. However, the devil is in the details.
Like was mentioned above, you give more funding to terrorists by buying gas and paying your income tax.
