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.
