In those new ads, paid for by the government, they are saying that anyone who’s ever bought illegal drugs has helped to fund terrorists. Is that bull or what?

The bottom line is that people who want to be terrorists, are going to be terrorists, whether we buy a joint or not. If it is not our drug money supporting them then it's something else. They will get the money and they will do terrorist acts whether they have to grow weed or get a job. People who want to kill others aren't going to let a lack of money get in their way. I mean c'mon they're already demented enough to want to kill thousands of people, do you think they would let something as little as money stop them?

Like I said, the government wants someone/something to blame for terrorist acts. THEY DON'T LIKE OUR COUNTRY. It is not the teens' faults.

totally agree with you. just what i was thinking, but w/ bigger words lol.

probably crap put out by the government to try to cut down on drug-trafficking.

Hey, whatever we can do to further the cause.. Err, I mean....

I figured that out when she said she smoked weed at 13. oh yeah x0oxAshley9101xo0x please don't have kids until your 30.

xooxashley1983:
The problem is you shouldn't be doing marijuana at your age, you should wait until you are at least 16 or 18. 13 year olds should not be doing any drugs PERIOD. Your young mind is not responsible enough to handle decision making where drugs and alchohol are involved.

The only drugs I think support "terror" would be cocaine and herion, and those arent even muslim terrorists, except for opium. just asian and south american.

Marijuana doesnt support terrorism, the weed you buy probably goes through 3 people before you, and its grown by some old peace loving hippy. He might own a gun to keep kids from stealing his crop.

I have had a battle with marijuana before, and I'm only 13! It is an addicting drug, and I am on my way out of it in recovery, and I've been drugs free for almost 7 months! It's really great. Before one of my teachers showed me this website, I never had any idea that I was supporting terrorists or anything like that. I just smoked weed and let it go. I never thought of it in any different light than before I started reading articles here. I know that weed is wrong, and I'm just hoping that maybe someone who does do illegal drugs can read this and they can realize that it is wrong. If anyone ever needs me though, you can IM me on AIM at xO BroKEn68 x3! And no, I'm not some stupid computer or anything! Thanks all, hope this article helps people!

bull and then some, at least here in canada. most of the drugs that are sold in canada are grown or made by people who are just trying to keep themselves fed.

Personally I hope that people who use cocaine get caught and do serious time for it. Thanks to them, FARC and all the socialist thugs in my mom's country of Colombia have been able to keep their civil war going while crippling the economy at the same time. Now, my relatives haven't been able to get jobs, many of my parents friends are dead, and I will never be able to visit my mother's country in their own homes. Of course, it wouldn't be such an issue if this country would partially legalize drugs and start getting tough on not just dealers but the American coffee and agricultural companies paying workers next to nothing (thus leading to people getting desperate and deciding to turn to drug dealing or going to the far left).

locutus, youre mostly right...
a lot of opiates are just stolen from hospitals..
or brought from thailand to the west coast..not afghanoistan..
coke does fund farc, and farc sucks
weed comes in from mexico but most of it is just dro or backyard grows...
as far as shrooms, you can just pick those in vermont or oregon or cali...
most hallucinogens are made in a lab..
so no it is bull...just like everything the dea says

Actually, kid, the vast majority of us weed is canadian and meixcan, as well as domestic. It does not fund terrorism as you may have been told. Opium may fund terrorism in the middle east, and cocaine may fund groups like FARC, but cannabis does not. As for crack and drug running, the US government has been in both businesses numerous times in cambodia, south america, and LA.

ha..i like em..its nice 2 know that since i'm not buying CRACK & WEED i'm not helping terrorists...yea...

listen..........there are two types of homelands. theres our nationality which is the US and theres our *homeland* which is Israel. how the hell are you supposed to tell me that im not supposed to care about my homeland....and what goes on there....nuh uh i dont think so. sure theres nationality but ISRAEL is MY HOMELAND

Ok Snatch,

Let's get this straight. You were living in Israel. Israel was your homeland. You are an American citizen. Now the United States is your homeland. You cannot have two.

As to the remarks about you and your -- let's get something straight. If you are an American citizen, then the U.S.-Afghani thing is just as much yours as it is mine.

I can understand people having a strong feeling for the "old country," but I'd have a very hard time splitting myself between England, France, Germany, and Switzerland -- those countries are where my grandparents lived before coming to the U.S.

I don't give a hoot about what happens with the Israelis and the Palestinians except to say that those I have met, I have liked, and that it is about time they got their act together and make movements toward peace because the U.S. (I say because I have a strong voice in the government) is not going to continue to write checks to these places for much longer.

Everybody knows the partnership for a drug free America puts out some of the most laughable commercials. I mean why would take any information from a partnership that admits that they exaggerate and try to mislead kids.
The worst is the pot commercials that are on of late, I mean come on they are trying to blame DUI on pot now, and if you real fact, the majority of DUI's are given to Drunk drivers, and most accidents are due to alcohol. Also if you listen to the end of the commercial where it implies that pot causes the most DUI's, what they say at the end, and I'm directly quoting is" 1out3 drivers pulled over for wreck less driving were under the influence of marijuana." That’s wreck less driving, not a DUI, so therefore only an Infraction.

Sorry I was reffering to illegal drugs...I didn't feel the need to state the obvious.

And those 2000 words I posted were simply to inform people about the basis of the ad and what critics said about it.

goodness

What if I bought drugs from a friend who was making them in his garage? Just because a guy has a beard doesant mean hes Bin Laden does it.

Advil is a drug, is it not?

Excedrine is a drug, is it not?

If you are referring to illegal drugs, then yes. Some can be bad. But some are used for medical purposes because they -help- people.
