How does the sale of Marijuana contribute to Terrorism?

Please don't be too general with your answer. I don't think it does, but I would like for some one to intelligently change my point of view.

Update:

Try to be specific, and racism makes a poor argument.

    The Taliban and Al Quaeda grow opium in Afghanistan. There are marijuana crops in the Bekaa Valley and Golan Heights in Palestine that are sold to finance Middle Eastern terrorism. South American terrorists grow and sell cocaine to finance their operations.

    The only way it contributes is if the pot being sold was raised by terrorists and sold for profits that are used to buy guns, ammo, explosives and pay soldiers to be terrorists.

    Otherwise, I do not see how it contributes to anything other than create a business for law enforcement to engage in.

    The war on drugs is terrorism!

    By criminalizing marijuana, we aren't stopping demand, just creating an untaxed clandestine criminal economy built around supplying the source of the demand.

    By making drugs illegal, you create the black market that allows crime to thrive and you are ensuring that criminals are going to be running the industry.
