The gateway drug arguement is the most tired and played out 'excuse' in the world. It's sad that since the government can't find any actual reason why it's bad (other than the whole smoke/lungs thing) that they need to make up ridiculous claims in order to try to scare the rest of America away from the "drug."

Marijuana does not lead to other drugs. People lead themselves to other drugs. If someone tries something, I assure you, marijuana isn't the reason.
