in my opinion the gateway theory is bs. yes, weed is the most common first time illegal drug, but what's the next step? coke, acid, shrooms? none of which come close to being like weed in any way shape or form. it's a cognitive thought to want to try something else. this theory is essentially just a way to escape being responsible for ones own children. i mean "my kids wouldn't ever try drugs" etc etc.

i agree with you about caffeine DW. i am still highly addicted to caffeine, but i'm working on it!
