You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.
Pot is a gateway drug because people lie to kids and tell them pot is just as bad as all the other drugs.
When they try pot and find out that they were lied to, they assume the same is true for all the other drugs and that’s where they get into trouble.
How many people smoke pot before they smoke cigarettes? I never knew any pot smokers who were not cigarette smokers. Cigarettes are far more addictive than pot. Have any studies been done comparing cigarettes with other substances as the true gateway drug?

No my friend, you are the one that doesn't know what you are talking about. I used to know a pimp that would start out by getting girls hooked on weed, and he would then put some crack into it. In a week they were hooked on crack.
He would then send them out to the street to make him money.
I know numerous other examples of people who started out on pot, and eventually got bored with it so they turned to coke, crack, meth and heroin.
It is indeed a gateway. It gets them into the habit of using drugs, and they eventually develop a tolerance to it, at which point they want something stronger.
