False. 44% of Americans have used marijuana, but only 9.2% have in the past year used any other illicit drug (and almost all of them were misusing prescription drugs).
I wonder how a pothead defender would react to an alcoholic defending whiskey with the same verve.
As I said, no one knows if they will become an addict. The risks outweigh the use.
And what percentage of hallucinogenic users did not use pot?
Let me guess.. ummm zero?
That would tend to indicate to me that pot usage lead to other drug abuse. Social context is a valid issue.
Those who deny pot is a gateway drug also by statistics are shown to be drug users.
Impaired thinking, like ignoring the social side of the equation to deny the dangers of drug usage could be caused by drug usage, buy I personally think it is more likely caused by an over active sense of denial.
Which ain’t just a river in Egypt.
