Of course, you won't find a company traded on the stock exchange that is (openly) dealing with cocain. But there are many things that are legal in one country and illegal in another country.
Example: In many countries it's illegal to sell prescription drugs on the net but it other countries it's legal. You own 10% of the stocks of such a company in a country where it's legal eventhough it's not legal in your country. Would you get in trouble in your country?
