If, as the gateway theory suggests, marijuana use leads to cocaine use, and alcohol and cigarette use lead to marijuana use, then alcohol and cigarette use lead to cocaine use. If A = B, and B = C, then A = C.

Wrong. Because most kids have used alcohol and smoked at least one cigarette, of course most kids who smoke pot are going to have first smoked or drank. Again, you invent "logic" to suit your cause. On the other hand, the percentage of kids who have used pot is significantly lower, but those who have are 85 times more likely to try cocaine.

Like I said, you subscribe to the gateway theory when it suits you, and ignore it when it does not.

So where are all the cocaine users. I mean there should just be a gazillion of em.
