WSJ: FEDS Financing al Qaeda and Terrorism through Cannabis Prohibition?

FEDS Financing al Qaeda and Terrorism through Cannabis Prohibition?

Questioning Cannabis? Does the U.S. Federal prohibition on Cannabis create funding for al Qaeda, financed in part from global drug trafficking?

Has the U.S. Federal prohibition on Cannabis also allowed Afghanistan to become the world's top producer of cannabis.?

Tell me if I'm wrong, but I have not heard al Qaeda trying to traffic alcohol or tobacco.

How paramount is stopping the financing of terrorist, to The United States of America? The illegal drug trade is estimated to be over $411 billion dollar black market.

"Between 10,000 and 24,000 hectares of cannabis are grown every year in Afghanistan, with major cultivation in 17 out 34 provinces, the U.N. drug agency (UNODC) said in its first report on cannabis production in Afghanistan."
