Hizballah
-- The Lebanese "Hizballah" group smuggles cocaine from Latin America to Europe and the Middle East and has in the past smuggled opiates out of Lebanon's Bekaa valley, although poppy cultivation there has dwindled in recent years. Its involvement in drug trafficking and other illicit activity may expand as state sponsorship declines.

A good reason nobody should buy street drugs - especially cocaine and heroin.
Don't fund terrosists!

Lots of money for little work is one good reason. Also, it allows them to prove how corrupt America and Europe are. Obviously, Allah produces morally superior humans, who are above needing mind-altering substances.
Finally, since drugs make you stupid, this is a good way to get Americans to become really, really STOOPID before Hezbollah attacks again.
And of course, it is illegal, so only people who intend to totally disregard the law, and get around it as much as possible will traffic in drugs, because it can lead to stiff jail sentences, but the hezbollah plans to do things far worse than traffic drugs, so evading the law is good training for them.

Because people like drugs, and illegalized drugs make for damn good profits on the black market.
Phattphatt: Afghan heroin production only dropped under the Taliban. Post-invasion, it soared right back up. Go ask the DEA.

Because drug trafficking can make you a lot of money.

Maybe because the US doesn't give them billions of dollars worth of bombs like they do for Israel.
