BLAME PROHIBITION

Many people took note of the Super Bowl commercials, which claimed
that drug users were funding terrorists. While it is technically true
that much drug smuggling is done by terrorist groups, the accusation
that drug users are funding terrorism makes as much sense as accusing
alcoholics of supporting Al Capone during Prohibition. It is the
prohibitionist policies, and not the users, that have allowed
terrorists and other criminals to profit immensely from the black
market drug trade.
