Buying Marijuana Supports Terrorism
Many ignorant rumors spread like fire after 9/11, but the following will have stuck with you if you are a pro marijuana advocate/user:
- "Anyone who buys or sells marijuana or other illegal drugs are actively supporting worldwide terrorism."
The boneheaded or possibly insidious rationale was that terrorists sell drugs to fund their dirty deeds. Why is that faulty logic?
- The act of driving an in-demand product, like marijuana, in to the black market is the actual reason terrorists are able to sell it to make money. If the drugs weren't illegal, the terrorists wouldn't be able to sell drugs to fund their operations. American Businessmen instead would be making the money from selling an American grown product. And finally, the American People would receive a "new" taxable resource, from an already incredibly popular product.
If Corn was made illegal today, the Terrorists would be making money from "moving" corn on the black market tomorrow.
