Drugs finance terrorism? Or is it oil?

A member brought up a very good point. The DEA claims that drugs finance terrorism. I think that oil money does far more to finance it than all the drugs in the world combined. Weren't the 9/11 assholes Saudi? Isn't Saudi Arabia and Iran always in trouble because their charities are funding terrorist organizations? Isn't terrorism the "reason" we're in Iraq? If it wasn't for all the oil money in the middle east does anyone here honestly believe they would have had the money to put this together?

Do you believe it is drugs that finance terrorism, is is it oil?

"Do you believe it is drugs that finance terrorism, is is it oil?"

Oops! Sorry about the misspell. "Or is it oil" is what I meant?

Yes, it's true that some terrorist organizations use drugs to finance their operations. I mean, duh, given the black market it's a very profitable trade.

But they aren't the only ones who are cashing in on it. The CIA has been caught red handed in it.

i believe that oil is by far more of a problem when it comes to supporting terrorists...

the only reasont they say that because we used to get most of are hash from other countries, things have changed ever since the mexicans brought in the popularity of smoking the herb in its' purer form, things have changed

If it wasn't for oil the terrorists would still be shooting the next tribe over off a camel with a flintlock rifle.

The insult to the American Publics intelligence with this stupidass propaganda really sticks in my craw.

Thank you guys, exactly what I thought. Here's the kicker.

We use corn to produce ethanol to drive our vehicles on and the price is about $8 a gallon. Industrial hemp is almost 4X more efficient than corn, producing over 1000 gallons per acre using 1890's technology. This should put the price of ethanol at $2-3 per gallon. Why the fuck are we buying oil from people that hate us instead of allowing our farmers a real shot at a $60 billion dollar a year market?

We are funding the terrorists, cutting our farmers throats and destroying our environment for what? This kind of arrogant bullshit? I find it disturbingly humorous that people look down on us people that smoke weed as stupid and yet the people we vote for are obviously more so!
