Drugs and Terrorism
Not very long ago President Bush claimed buying marijuana was ultimately aiding Al Quada and other terrorists groups. At the time I laughed my ass off.
Most of it is now grown right here in the US. Practically all of the so called kindbuds are the product of someone's grow set up right here in the good old USA. The crappy commercial pot is probably grown outside the country, more than likely, in Mexico.
These facts make what the President said total bull. I got a few laughs off of this statement but then kind of forgot about it. Since I now only smoke pot I didn't really think about the other harder drugs. I have a letter from my doctor to smoke for actual medical reasons so I feel safe writing this.
On the other hand, I guess I do have the President to thank for my current way of thinking.
Recently, my area was flooded with black hash. People have been arrested for it here and I had a chance to get some. I refused to buy it, as I instantly considered where it had come from, probably Pakistan or Afganistan.
I have concluded there are some other drugs that could, or probably do, have a link to terrorist organizations.
Most opiates, (opium, heroin) originate from areas that may actually have Al Quada involved. Buying these drugs probably is aiding terrorists.
Cocaine may have some links as it does originate in South America from a region known for its death dealing drug lords.


Two bottom lines here.
1. The Government should decriminalize all drugs and supply addicts at a very low price. Register them, photograph them and make them show a pay stubb to be eligible. They then should make marijuana totally legal, reserve the right to produce it and grow good pot, charge for it and also tax the shit out of it. It takes pennies to produce pounds and we could be out of debt in a few years and put real rebab and education about drugs in place. We'd ease the bursting prisons and save big money on prisoner up keep and prosecution. We'd take all the money out of the terrorists hands and build our economy without investing our future in a country that is rapidly expanding its armed forces(China). Soon we'd have less drug addicts and we'd free up our police to go after real criminals. It worked for the Dutch!
2. If you puff weed, buy America!
Edit: Correction, buy local!
