@RandPaul The impact of the cannabis law in germany and why the Israeli attack on Hezbollah's leadership was not only a blow against terrorism, but also against the international drug trade.

@RandPaul The CanG is already having an impact in germany, and it is better if consumers grow their own weed than the money benefit certain clans and terrorism.

@RandPaul Lebanon is one of the largest cannabis growing areas, and farmers import fertilizers from the West, which are becoming increasingly expensive due to inflation. mena-watch.com/libanon-cannab…

@RandPaul Added to this is the liberalization of cannabis, which is pushing down the price of the product. Now it no longer seems to be profitable enough there, which is good news.

@RandPaul The plantations are located in Hezbollah territory. Often, friends of the farmers or one of their family members are themselves members of Hezbollah, and they make massive profits from the hashish trade.

@RandPaul Hezbollah will no longer be able to sell cannabis in Germany in the future. Perhaps soon, cocaine won't be available either. Then they'll only have weapons left.

@RandPaul The Israeli attack on Hezbollah's leadership, its leader and his deputy, was not only a blow against terrorism, but also against international drug trafficking. tagesschau.de/ausland/asien/…

@RandPaul According to documentation on Hezbollah's drug trafficking, the cocaine is flown to Iran in Venezuelan government aircraft and handed over by the mullahs to their Hezbollah intermediaries, who are supposed to market the product in Europe.

@RandPaul This is done here with the help of Lebanese clans, and the proceeds from drug trafficking are then invested in terrorist attacks and in missiles aimed at Israel.

@RandPaul The IS terrorists are also financing their attacks with drugs after they lost access to the oil sources and were decimated by the US and Russia in the course of the war in Syria. tagesschau.de/ausland/captag…

@RandPaul The Middle East is a powder keg, and in addition to the disputes with Israel, there are also intra-Islamic disputes and the fight against ISIS. All parties to the conflict are drawing on revenues from the drug trade and flooding the EU with its drugs.

@RandPaul The Mocro Mafia sources its drug from Colombia, which is smuggled through Morocco. The Lebanese clans obtain it from Islamists, and the Albanian clans control the German heroin trade.

@RandPaul The number of drug addicts will continue to rise as the conflicts in the Middle East progress, as many operations are financed with drug money.

@RandPaul Combating drug-related crime is part of combating the causes of flight if the parties involved in the conflicts in the Middle East profit from it and the CanG counteracts this,

@RandPaul if consumers grow their own weed and have more money in their pockets at the end of the month instead of financing terrorism through its consumption.
