Drugs fund terrorism and organised crime!

Many people seem to be unaware of the consequences of buying drugs other than the direct affects on their health. For one thing the drugs trade is run mostly by organised crime gangs who carry out shootings of rivals often hitting innocent bystanders like during many shootouts between drugs gangs in America and Britain.
Another thing is that the drugs trade also fund terrorism. The IRA and UVF for instance have already taken over the drugs trade in large areas of Scotland forcing out local dealers and suppliers with extreme violence.
Al Quada and the Afghan War lords were also funded largely by the ilegal heroin trade during the 1980s in which heroin was smuggled across Asia and on to Europe. The cocaine trade also funds the Colombian drug cartels who have been responsible for murders of politicans and other public figures in Colombia which has one of the highest murder rates in the world due mainly to its illegal drugs trade and the drugs cartels.
People should really think about all the suffering that is caused by the illegal drugs trade before they take drugs.

it has never made sense to give billions upon billions of pounds to crooks and terrorists. the government are begining to catch up now. prohibition of alcohol had the same effects. that much wealth gives crooks enough power to corrupt not just governments but entire cultures.
Legalisation of harder drugs could be a disaster as these drugs like heroin, cocaine and barbituites can be lethal and lead to a severe addication which can take over a persons life.
Support your local grower:D
you are not going to buy rough cut heroin from your local dealer. thats him almost out of biz. an addict will not have to think 24hrs a day about where his next fix is coming from or steal your property. the ships full of heroin will divert to where it is still ilegal as thier cargos become worthless dust. an addict who isn't chasing his next fix will be able to work. nothing ever happens overnight ! prescribing does not cure addiction but will drasticaly reduce disease and crime and overcrowding in prisons. it will also alow the police to fight crime instead of being medicine police.
at present massive recsourses go into "the war on drugs". the war has been lost...think thats obvious to anyone with half a brain. new tactics are needed.
as whspliffy says (welcome back wh) home grown weed does not fund terrorism. britain now produces some of the best cannabis in the world. i know of it actualy being exported ! we may as well grow it legaly.
Does anyone here buy Bacardi products? If you do you are funding terrorism against the Cuban People and government, because the Bacardi Corp funds anti-revolutionary mercenaries- including one bombing which IIRC killed more than 300 civilians- dockworkers- in Havana.
I assume you'll be pushing for legislation as well since that would remove the trade from the terrorists?
Well I guess at least Burma has said its going to try and stop producing shit loads of opium, but then I'm sure they are making enough from the meth not to worry.
Drugs are the most profitable industry this world has ever seen, its not going to go away any time soon.
One thing that cannabis users could do is grow their own as buy growing their own then they would not be funding anyone plus they would save money.
I would be infavour of legalisation of many soft drugs while at the same time having an aggresive war on harmful hard drugs by the authorities such as heroin and cocaine as it is these drugs that do by far the most damage.
Yeah, but by giving pure heroin to addicts on prescription, would only be a temporary measure, while they are given councilling, etc to get them off the drug. This would prevent some drug related crimes from happening and lower health risks as the heroin is purer...seems like a good idea to me!
By the way, Moroccan Roll (sp?), where'd you get that icon? It's awful familiar.
he kinda scares me... I just knew someone on another board (from some game I used to play) with the same little freaky guy, kinda wierd.
