I must be stoned, because I don't understand this. If I buy marijuana from Mendocino (hypothetically speaking, of course), how does that support terrorism? Cocaine from Colombia may support terrorism and violence, but not against Americans. Opiates seem to be the only drug with a significant connection to anti-US terror networks, and even that has been reduced by the fall of the Taliban.
In other words, what are you talking about? The discussion of how American dependence on MidEast oil jeopardizes our interests is a serious and important one, and shifting the focus to drug use seems pointless.
But maybe you have some factual basis for what you are saying.
