Do drug users realize they're subsidizing terrorist? How can we undermine drug profits, decrease drug usage, and help those hooked on drugs? Anyone?
You could eliminate the profit motive overnight by making drug use and possession legal. No black market, no promise of killer profit, no terrorist subsidation.

You forgot make them legal to sell. Decriminalization is a start, but not nearly good enough. If we want to get rid of the black market that kills or bribes everyone in their way, we need legitimate, tax-paying businesses to produce and sell the product.
The free market works, folks. Gas stations and the local Wal-Mart don't kill their competitors in turf wars.
