Gateway Drug?

[thcbongman]

The whole "gateway" theory is a bunch of horse shit. Do we say working at McDonalds is a gateway job to becoming a manager?

NO! That sounds absolutely ridiculous if you use any other variables. We are conditioned to accept this is actually a valid theory, like the most-tested theory of all time: Evolution.

cigerrettes or alcohol should be before marijuana

I disagree that pot is a gateway drug. The reason most kids smoke pot before they move onto other things is because it's easier to get to, and it's cheaper.

OMG, i can't believe this thread was even started. in basic terms you agree with all the mother fuckers that put down weed as a bad thing.

if you look at stats, Tobacco and Liquor are Gateway Drugs but yet not banned. that is why they are so damn easily to get ahold of. once you start drinking and/or Smoke Tobacco, you have a higher risk of doing coke, meths, Crack what ever.

My first drug was tobacco, then alcohol, then weed, cigarettes didn't make me want to to try anything, but alcohol did, but it wasn't until almost 7 years after getting drunk for the first time that I tried pot. I think the legal drugs are the gateway drugs, because alcohol just didn't cut it for me, I liked the feeling, but i hated the side effects, and when I drink the day after I get really depressed and want to drink more, when I first started tokin, I wanted to try new things, and different things, but not because I was searching for a better high, or to get more fucked up, pot just made me realize that not everything I'm told about drugs is true, and its taught me to be open minded, although I haven't tried anything besides dxm, I know that nothing I could take could give me the same feeling and relaxation that pot has given me. I used to be this huge anti pot person, and I lost a lot of friendships over it, but now I look back and want to slap myself. Pot has helped me in so many ways, with my insomnia, and it made me eat again. Alcohol could never do that for me.

and fabolous I agree with you, it boggles my mind that alcohol is still legal, but yet pot is still the demon seed

"Gateway" was my cable company, when I was young. I wish that they promoted Pot.

I don't believe marijuana is a gateway drug.

I tried alcohol, then tobacco then marijuana. When I was a lot younger I always believed that all drugs (including alcohol and tobacco) were bad, and I convinced myself I'd never try them.

Then I got a bit older, read up on the facts about them, and talked to my friends, and decided maybe they weren't as bad as school and the news would have me believe. I would still like to try shrooms and acid, but I've never even been tempted by cocaine or heroin.

I don't think marijuana can be called a gateway drug because it's not like I've gotten bored of weed and am looking for a new high. I've read up on acid and shrooms, and I think their effects sound like something I'd like to try - not to go one better than getting high, but just for the experience.
