Who Supports Terrorists? Drug Money Funds Terrorism. This spot makes you think about what you are doing if you buy drugs pot included. Worth watching and thinking about. The museum is hosting the DEA’s traveling exhibit called “Target America,” which aims to bring new insight to the damage drugs can cause. American drug money is buying weapons and funding wars. The DEA said that money may fund operations like the WTC bombing of 2001. Meth labs in Mexico, marijuana fields in Somalia and cocaine trade in Colombia share more than American customers. Drugs have become the cash cow for terrorist organizations. Half of the US State Department’s list of foreign terrorist organizations have drug ties. The DEA has spent decades tracking organizations like Colombia’s Farc. The drug lords net 0 million a year and that money trail leads back to America. “The Farc traded cocaine for a stinger missle,” said Karen Tandy, of the DEA. “Gaeda was trading heroin for a stinger missile. Both of those transactions occurred in the United States.” When terrorists strike, money-laundering experts track the attack. “With the Madrid train bombings, the way the terrorists got the explosives to blow up the train was by trading hashish for explosives,” said Tandy. “It cost 000 worth of hashish, and you saw what happened in the train bombings.” Forensic accounts comb through everything from Taliban tax receipts to money confiscated inside secret compartments. “We’re talking about wire transfers …

Will ecstasy show up as methamphetamines on a drug test?
Question by Unas Slayer of the Gods: Will ecstasy show up as methamphetamines on a drug test?
My dumbass friend took some Ecstasy last night and is going to be drug tested today. Since methamphetamine is in the name of MDMA will it show up as methamphetamines?
Best answer:
Answer by texasogre
Yes
“…it is chemically closely enough related to amphetamines that recent MDMA users will test positive in both amphetamines (a common test) and methamphetamines (a somewhat newer and less common test). Because of this, the detection periods for MDMA are very similar to those for amphetamines. Also, many tablets of street ecstasy are not pure MDMA and frequently includes amphetamines (and may also contain DXM, caffeine, MDA, MDE, ephedrine etc) which may trigger drug tests.”
