Best Answer

Because terrorist organizations are the biggest suppliers of illegal drugs these days. The gangs buy these drugs for distribution in the US, and perhaps carry out deeds for the suppliers in exchange for lower prices or just the opportunity of buying. The profits feed terrorism--another reason for decriminalizing drugs.
