I do not smoke weed, but if I did, and bought weed off of the local dealer...... how the hell does that support Terrorism?

0% of that money goes overseas. A lot of local dealers grow their own weed, or buy it from someone who does.... Soo.... how does that support Terrorism?

I am sure there have been other discussions on this topic, but those commercials piss me off.

I think the relationship between drugs and terrorism tends to lie in harder drugs like heroin and miscellaneous opiates which are often sourced out of countries with terroristic tendencies. The weed relationship would probably follow along the lines that it is a "gateway" drug. I dislike these commercials because they send the msg that weed will make you want to use harder drugs. I think, more accurately, it'd be better to say that peer pressure and emotional immaturity are the "gateway" to those harder drugs. That "need to fit in" is more influential than the properties of THC in nearly any culture. Indeed, it is definitely great enough to make one "bend" ones morals little by little to make many things acceptable. I know many mature individuals who handle their marijuana usage responsibly. They have grown up to the point that they don't really need the acceptance of their peers. More often that not, however, I see many people in college go for the "it's cool, everyone does it" type of mentality and eventually start hitting the hard stuff.

Don't you know, those poverty ridden farmers in Kentucky and West Virginia who grow marijuana are terrorists.

A lot of medicine is made from petroleum. Many countries that produce petroleum also harbor terrorists. There's your answer.

It does'nt, it's a myth, it's bull. Not only that oil does support terrorism indirectly. Wonder why they left that out of these ads?

15/19 highjackers were from saudi arabia, the place where 100% of their export GDP is oil and 55% of our oil comes from, the country that gives $50000 to every suicide bomber in pal, and drugs mean instant death. Go figure. Want to stop supporting terrorism don't buy oil products.

Have'nt heard of any Columbians blowing up our poeple or people in Israel.

It's simple: you smoke weed, get the munchies, and DRIVE TO THE MINI MART. Driving uses oil, oil is bought from a cartel, the cartel gives money to Bin Laden.

That whole supporting terrorists by smoking ganj sounds retarded to me. However, I don't recommend smoking the ganj.
