And what percentage of hallucinogenic users did not use pot?

Let me guess.. ummm zero?

That would tend to indicate to me that pot usage lead to other drug abuse. Social context is a valid issue.

Those who deny pot is a gateway drug also by statistics are shown to be drug users.

Impaired thinking, like ignoring the social side of the equation to deny the dangers of drug usage could be caused by drug usage, buy I personally think it is more likely caused by an over active sense of denial.

Which ain’t just a river in Egypt.

The connection is better explained by a common factor such as individuals' opportunities and social or psychological predisposition to use drugs. "Better" because nobody has ever even proposed a mechanism whereby someone not previously inclined to use other drugs becomes so through pot use.

Really? Let's see those statistics.
