For marijuana to be a 'gateway' to other drugs, it needs to be addictive maybe? The common misconception is that marijuana leads to harder drugs, but this is untrue and the statement comes from the mis-informed fact that most marijuana users also use or have used other, possibly harder drugs. This doesn't necessarily mean that marijuana promotes curiosity in other drugs, but also that people who smoke marijuana regularly often become hardcore druggies.

You have only the governments of the world and their propoganda against the marijuana industry to thank. They have blown figures out of proportion and mis-informed the public for years, until people started believing all these little white lies.

CONCLUSION: Marijuana is NOT physically addictive and therefore cannot be seen as a gateway to harder drugs, an example being that many marijuana users do not even smoke cigarettes, let alone snort cocaine. Marijuana can be pyschologically addictive, YES, but so can sex. The onus is therefore on the cannabis users to refrain from using hardcore drugs.

And non-biased ones i know you can be very biased twords the good effects of marijuana and just completly push away the bad ones but we all smoke it we know the secrets you dont have to lie. Rating: 5
