[history]
Many studies have examined the "gateway" theory, that marijuana use at a young age leads to use of harder drugs as a person grows older. While there is a general consensus among studies that those who use marijuana are much more likely to use hard drugs and that hard drug users usually use marijuana first, there is lively debate surrounding the reasons for these dynamics.

And GW has never, ever used drugs. Ever.I believed he has renounced his past sinful activity.
He wants to stay sober so he can more fully enjoy Jee's revenge on Jack and Erika.

The problem starts when they move up to pot. Then they become 85 times more likely to use cocaine.I've asked this many times, but have never gotten an ansewer, so maybe one of y'all could be the first...What is the chemical or compound in marijuana that causes the gateway effect?

Bear in mind this sacred principle, that
though the will of the majority is in all cases to prevail,
that will to be rightful must be reasonable;
that the minority possess their equal rights,
which equal law must protect,
and to violate would be oppression."--Thomas Jefferson
The armour of God is the Word of God.
Tyrants are the rulers of darkness of this world
and the spiritual wickedness in high places is when
Government enforces arbitrary puritanical beliefs that are contrary to established religious facts, beliefs and scripture.
Peace is peace and war is war and you are in denial of your support for Satan's rule.

They are historically in favor of limitations on personal liberty that benefit the common good. Another pro-WOD gun grabber.
What a surprise!

But has he ever stated that he is for the legalization of all illegal drugs? No, but neither have myself or most anti-WOD FReepers.

This person embraces a Libertarian philosophy and calls himself a Conservative. He would be better off accepting himself for what he is. As compared to you, who calls herself "conservative" but is actually a Liberal in disguise.

As much as you try to perpetuate that myth, Jim does not embrace Libertarianism to the extent that you guys do. Are you willing to make a little wager that JimRob's opposition to the Federal WOD is a myth?

What is the chemical or compound in marijuana that causes the gateway effect? That's just the point. The twins study indicates that hard drug use is a philosophical choice reached after making the earlier decision to try marijuana.

Because so many kids try drugs and alcohol without ever moving up to pot. The problem starts when they move up to pot. Then they become 85 times more likely to use cocaine. They started with alcohol...that would make alcohol the gateway drug, at least to most logical thinking people.

Nope. Its called "what works in a civil society." No man is an island. OK, so by your logic, the KKK does not contribute to the "common good", so we should restrict their First Amendment liberties to free speech?

Are you willing to make a little wager that JimRob's opposition to the Federal WOD is a myth? Nope. I've seen quotes to the effect that he thinks the WOD goes too far. My point is that he does not think pot should be legalized and you know it. Or should know it.

If you are not a fan of this satanist then why do you espouse his beliefs while denying the simple words of God? Great question....don't count on an honest answer.
