The "gateway" theory is not true, sorta retarded to me. We all are unique with different minds, we all think differently. Sadly he was one that didn't think too well. But I started a year earlier than him and I still haven't even considered all that other b.s. I despise crack, pharmaceutical drugs, cigarettes, meth, heroin and all that trash with a passion. I have considered shrooms, ecstasy, peyote and LSD but not anymore. Not that I see anything wrong with it but it's just not something I'm into anymore. Those things just don't appeal to me seriously it's just plain. With Cannabis there is so many varieties, so many strains to choose from all safe and mood lifting, mind healing so many different things it can do for you. I mean what more can you ask for. So that just shows that it depends on the person, that theory is just retarded.
