i would have to say weed is a gateway drug, but like most ppl saod on here that its really all up to the person...i mean alchohol got me into weed, then i got onto tabacco(not ciggs, hate those but i like hookah tobac lol) and earlier weed got me into mushrooms, but it was my choice that i do what i do, weed didnt force me into shit i just saw SOME shit not as bad as it sounded, but i only do natural stuff (weed, alcohol, tobacco and maybe salvia,mushrooms but thats not even a yes now) i promised myself i would nvr get any deeper then thatbut anyway, u can say its a gateway drug or not, its all up to the person
