you talk to 100 heroin/crack/meth addicts and 99 will tell ya that they started with pot.
________
As in their first experience with illegal drugs was pot. Their first drug was (and you know it as well as I do) the much more readily available alcohol.
They probably started with tobacco and alcohol, but that doesn't mean that the tobacco and/or alcohol made them want to use heroin/crack/meth. There is nothing about smoking marijuana that makes people want to use harder drugs. If teens are out hanging around a rougher crowd smoking and drinking, they're more likely to be offered other drugs, and they are more likely to be the type that would interested in other stuff. Make marijuana legal, and it won't be anymore of a gateway drug than tobacco and alcohol because the people that sell pot from licensed shops won't be any more likely to sell cocaine/heroin/meth than the clerk at the liquor store and just the fact that someone smokes marijuana won't make him part of the illegal drug taking crowd and therefore safe to break the other stuff out in front of. We need to separate marijuana from heroin/crack/meth and the way to do that is to legalize it. Then it would be no more of a gateway drug than cigarettes or beer.
So by keeping pot illegal we produce heroin/crack/met addicts?
Good job drug warrior, good job!

You need to do a little research on the differences between correlation and causation.
