They were going to sell it on the black market to earn money to finance their terrorist activities: a black market that would not exist if the stuff were legalized.

WOD, aka how to get more power for the government.

The US could have destroyed all of the opium at its source in Afghanistan (world's largest producer of opium) but decided not to.

So is this a war on drugs of a fund raiser / control tool for the government?
