"The association may arise from the effects of the peer and social context within which cannabis is used and obtained. In particular, early access to and use of cannabis may reduce perceived barriers against the use of other illegal drugs and provide access to these drugs."

Translation: When the subjects learned that they had been lied to about the harmful effects of marijuana and that they did not in fact turn into raping murdering lunatics, they concluded that maybe they had been lied to about other drugs and that it would be ok to try them also.

The other glaring error in design study (which they sort of cop to in the quote in my previous post) is that nowhere do they control for what came first. I find it hard to believe that these people didn't try cigarettes and alcohol before marijuana. My guess is this "study" was put together as pure propaganda to counter the RAND study of a few months ago.
