No, creates a lot of problems — more losers getting high and harming others, more drug trafficking and usage as marijuana is a gateway drug
Wrong! It is pharmaco;ogically not a gateway drug. “wow, man, I’m laid back from that doobie—oh, wait a minute, Let’s do some coke to rev up!” You sound like a DEA agent. It’s only gateway in the sense that it is usually in the same place in the black market.
And, you sound like Barney Frank and Joycelyn Elders.
There isn't any question marijuana is a gateway drug:
