Pot is only a “Gateway” drug because one has to go to the black market to get it. Once there, other drugs are on offer as well.

That's a really interesting point. I never really considered it from that angle. I can't say I agree or disagree, but it's certainly worth my time to think about it.

Also consider how many people may try some other drug from the black market dealer when police actions have “dried up” the local supply of marijuana.

At the legal pot store, there should always be a supply.
