“now onto cocaine and meth”
The idea of “gateway drug” has been thoroughly discredited. It’ the refuge of simple minds.
Disagree. A probation officer in a small Colorado town told us that marijuana is ho hum to folks the big thing now is something called tar.

It’s ok to make a point without insulting the person who doesn’t agree with you.
Pot is not a gateway drug. The only reason most people who smoke pot move on to other drugs is because of the environment in which they have to purchase it and our education system and government propaganda has a lot to do with it.
Drug dealers are in business to make money. If a kid goes to a drug dealer to buy weed, the drug dealer will try to sell him something harder if he has it. The child being told his entire life that pot and heroin are equally bad won’t know the difference. There’s your gateway.
And before anybody gets on here and denounces me and tells me I’m full of s***, I have lived the life. I have seen the tricks that drug dealers pull to get people hooked on hard drugs so they can make more money.
I have also seen more lives destroyed by prescription drugs obtained legally from their doctor and pharmacist.
Fortunately for me, I had older brothers who were pot smokers and had warned me about drug dealers and about hard drugs, such as prescription pills, heroin and Coke.
And if you’re worried about kids dying from a drug overdose lock up your medicine cabinet.
The only damage pot has ever done to me is to my waistline and my grocery bill.
