An earlier post by you today: You had to go back 5 days to find that.
You really need to stop worshiping Ozzy Osbourne, put down the booze, and get a life.

It is disengenuous to place blame in the substance by calling it a gateway drug I don't---studies like the one I cited mistake correlation for causation. Occam's Razor discards the "gateway theory" in favor of the explanation that earlier use of one drug and later use of another have a common cause in a predisposition to alter one's mental state.
I cited that passage on "gateway" alcohol and tobacco to point out to presidio9 and other WODdies that if they argue for retaining the marijuana ban because it's a "gateway drug" then they must also support the banning of alcohol and tobacco on the same grounds.

You had to go back 5 days to find that. 10 or 11 posts. Don't talk the talk if you can't walk the walk. You have nothing intelligent to say, so you make a big deal about typos. But there's a problem: You are human like the rest of us, and just as guilty of typos from time to time. The difference is that since you have made typos out to be the height of stupididity, when you make one yourself you end up looking like the complete drug-addict jackass loser that we all know you are.

"A recent study by Columbia University's Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, states that the earlier children use the gateway drugs tobacco or alcohol[...], the more likely they are to move on to other drugs. Youth who drank alcohol were 50 times more likely to use cocaine, and those who smoked tobacco cigarettes were 19 times as likely to use cocaine." - Drug Watch International Position StatementPlease prove that that study took place.
Are you suggesting that the WODdies at Drug Watch International are liars? "Drug Watch International is a volunteer non-profit drug information network and advocacy organization that promotes the creation of healthy drug-free cultures in the world and opposes the legalization of drugs."

Say, have you heard that Ozzie Osborn says that pot smoking led his son Jack to try harder drugs?

...You are human like the rest of us, ... Funny, I never thought you were human. More likely a computer-programmed 'bot, spewing out ignorance with every keystroke.
Have another beer....maybe you'll eventually make an intelligent post, but I doubt it.
You are too stupid for words to describe.

The moderator has requested that personal attacks be taken to the Smokey Backroom. Sorry, but this guy has nothing useful to say. I take it back....he's not stupid, only terminally disinformed.

Look, you made a big deal about typos, and you ended up looking like an idiot when the slightest bit of research found a typo of your own. I'm sure its humiliating, but calling attention to your stupidity won't solve a thing. Deal with it in private.

Sure he does. But to me, the more interesting thing is that Ozzie Osborne, who is clearly in a position to know, says that smoking pot caused his son Jack to try harder drugs.

I'm sure its humiliating... The only thing humiliating is your ignorant posts.
I guess you have no shame....posting the same uninformed "opinions" over and over, without so much as an iota of truth.
Live with that, Sport.

The only thing humiliating is your posts Look, I wouldn't need to humiliate you if you weren't constantly doing stupid things like making a big deal out of typos when you are just as guilty. I wish I didn't have to point out what an idiot you are. You bring this on yourself.

Ozzie Osborne, who is clearly in a position to knowNo he's not---the fact that he used pot and later other drugs doesn't even prove that the one caused the other FOR HIM, much less that the one causes the other for other people.

Sure it does. Not only that, but he has spent his entire life surrounded almost exclusively with recreational drug users. You, on the other hand claim to have never smoke pot. It goes without saying that Ozzie is in perfect position to observe the causal relationship. You, on the other hand have absolutely no credibility.

Sure it does.No it doesn't:
"post hoc ergo propter hoc
"Definition:
The name in Latin means "after this therefore because of this". This describes the fallacy. An author commits the fallacy when it is assumed that because one thing follows another that the one thing was caused by the other." - http://www.datanation.com/fallacies/posthoc.htm
Not only that, but he has spent his entire life surrounded almost exclusively with recreational drug users. [...] It goes without saying that Ozzie is in perfect position to observe the causal relationship.
What were his control groups? Where is his statistical analysis?
