Yeah, weed is a gateway. Some people are always looking for a better high. I was one of those people when I was a kid. And then came the kids..... And grandkids.... Now days I get my highs on roller coasters.
For whatever reason, I drew the line at sticking a needle in my arm. Not that I didn’t have the dubious pleasure of observing people putting a needle in their arm. I also got to see the disgusting side effects of junk cut with less than wholesome ingredients.
