Why Is Marijuana a Gateway Drug?D?
Question by shutupandletmego!: Why is marijuana a gateway drug?D?
I just wanted to know why people think marijuana is a gateway drug?
If it were legal and if people taught there children the right way, would it be a gateway drug.
Almost 80% of americans have used marijuana, many during there teen years.
It seems today the school systems walk up to kids and say, hey don’t drink and drive(not don’t drink). Then they say don’t smoke marijuana it will make you a heroin addict, they’re the exact same thing.
My point is this. Would it be that bad if marijuana was decriminalized and we taught kids it was no more dangerous than alcohol?
I can’t really comprehend why tobacco is still legal, it is by far the worst drug on earth? What is it’s medical purpose? By the way please don’t say marijuana kills the brain cells, it is proven that statement is false, and I do not care for your ignorance.
We teach the kids if they smoke marijuana they will never ammount to anything, well it just so happens an ex marijuana smoker is the most powerful man on earth currently(obama).

It is as much of a gateway drug to heroine as kool-aid powder is to cocaine.
It’s all political; lots of rich people have lots of rich interests in the prohibition, hence why hemp’s not legal to mass produce and is likened to it’s much more THC-ladden counterpart.
Obama is a puppet; who cares what he used to do. And he used to smoke tobacco, so what does that say about your ‘worst drug on earth’ argument .
Is this really a question so much as a ‘prove me wrong’? In any case it isn’t a gateway drug; that is a ridiculous concept. I ate Cheerios and then shot some heroine; for the love of GOD, outlaw Cheerios, that is clearly my problem.

If someone does drugs or drinks same thing, a addiction. I think people say will lead to heroin and other drugs is the fact that the person may be hanging around the wrong people and ended up getting more of a high. Marijuana is not good for you as for tobacco they are getting more and more tight rules on it. Many states you can not smoke in most business places, hospitals, bar. We should not teach kids to do either but say no. When your a adult you make those decisions and hopefully it is a phase. Both ruin people and families. It is used for cancer patients and that is for a purpose not to just get high. For President Obama and many people in high places were just regular people and did things as other teens have. The thing is they knew when to stop.
