Do you feel any guilt that your casual drug use funds Mexico's narco terrorists? If I was out there smoking, snorting, or shooting it up I would wonder if it came from the Zetas, a group that recently massacred 72 innocent people en masse who refused to particpate in the drug business. If I used drugs I would be shocked, embarrased and ashamed over this.
I like the approach they've taken with cigarettes. Tax the crap out of it. Have the junkies make up our budget deficit.

When I was addicted to heroin. Sometime I would look at it and wonder who died for it or who my money was being sent back to. I blamed the government for making it have to go though those channels. I also blamed them for making me have to steal to afford it. If it had been legal I could of gotten high all I wanted for a couple bucks like a homeless alcoholic. I would of only been sending my money to some suits and giving some americans some jobs. Why should anybody care if I waste my own life fuck stupid drug laws.

Is this a religion thread yet?
For someone who labels himself a Chrisitan, you sure do a lot of judging.
Were you using Mexican Brown/Black Tar heroin or "china white?"
If it was the former, then yes, you were helping to support the cartels and their violent ways. If it was the latter, you MAY have been helping to fund the Taliban.
Not literally, but the OP makes a valid point. Drug users are largely oblivious to the fact that the money they're spending on illegal drugs funds criminal elements. It's not just terrorists or drug cartels either. It could be local gangs too. It's the desire for that money that leads the more violent of those elements to kill people to secure/expand their profits and trade.
Of course, if the government never banned these substances in the first place, creating a black market in which criminals are allowed to turn a profit, then there wouldn't be this problem either. The US experimented with prohibition in the 20s and should have learned it's lesson then with Al Capone and the like. But that was on domestic ground whereas the cartels have stayed in Mexico, so out of sight out of mind. Though if the cartels start messing around on US ground like they have been in recent months then that might motivate the government to take stronger actions.
Thank you. One sensible poster on ATOT. The thing is your typical drug user lives in "lala land". If they had half a brain cell they would be well aware that their destructive behavior directly leads to thousands of dead people. This is why would should enhance laws against users as the violence increases. They are directly responsible for funding the madness in Mexico and around the world.
We need to seize thier assests like the car they got busted in (even one joint) or set a minimum $10,000 fine to fund intradiction and enforcement of anti-doper laws. Maybe if treat them like the criminal element they are they would start getting the message: People died so your mind could be fried.

drug laws enabled the black market, not drug users
drug users would probably prefer to get their substances via legitimate channels, the anti-drug lobby made that an impossibility. in truth, the blood is on YOUR hands.
