Your argument is invalid.
You're an idiot. In 2007, the oil industry made 127 billion. The coffee industry barely makes somewhere between 10 and 70 billion. The drug trade, however, is a 400 billion dollar a year industry - it was estimated by the UN.
The only thing higher than that is the weapons/military industry, which is close to a trillion globally.
The "Oil and coffee" statistic is among the more popular made up statistics -- the gaming industry alone is close to rivaling coffee
