No dispute with that. However I do take issue with those who deny marijuana is a gateway drug.

I’d love to hear from the posters on this thread, from what product did y’all get your first buzz?

It was cigs for me, followed by booze, and only then MJ. Tried a few other things in late high school and college, but never took to them. Loved pot, though.

So, in your estimation, was pot my gateway (to nowhere, ultimately)?

One year-old Budweiser beer from a six-pack that dad (dad never drank) kept under the steps and would lamely offer at parties. I walked with that six-pack for about 3 miles in 90+ degree heat to a friend's house. Couple that with about 2 or 3 shots of whatever booze she found in her parents' liquor cabinet. And then throw in some MJ as well to make it a well-rounded night of general debauchery.

I'd say that its a question only you or people close to you at the time would know. I probably behaved similar to you. I know from my personal situation that the guys that had the mj were the guys that had the other stuff. Every time I was ever offered "other stuff", it came from somebody who was able to score up mj.

That sort of situation continues today. I know a child that smoked mj who was taught by her dealer how cool it is to grind up percaset and xanax and then snort it up her nose.
