I don't care what a fedgov agency reports. I saw first hand pot users graduate to harder drugs. Go to any homeless encampment and ask the addicts if they started on coke, meth, or heroin first. No, they almost always started on pot or alcohol which leads to lack of ambition and the inability to function within societal norms. I feel bad for the mentally ill, but many are just bums who want no responsibility.

So if ANY pot user EVER moved on to harder drugs, pot is a gateway?
