Gateway Drug?

[Inferius]

First off marijuana isnt a drug, it's a plant that produces psychoactive glands that also serves a purpose of keeping insects off of the flowers. Why it gets us high? I dont know but I can tell you that me and almost everyone on this forum is a prime example of why marijuana is NOT a gateway drug. I will stick with marijuana till I die. I've been doin it since 13 and you dont see me going around asking for crack rocks and heroin and shit like that. I dont wanna be an addictive fuck, fuck up half my life, have to go thru detox and a fucking embarassing rehab program. So why would I go off and try something else? It has no bad effects on me and I DO realize other drugs are bad...for example there are quite a few celebs that died from other drugs, like ODB died from an overdose of cocaine and a perscription drug. Marijuana doesnt kill and it doesnt send your life downhill. Fuck off, get banned, thank you .

Just lettin' you know if you wanted to edit, you said it wasn't a drug and then referred to it in the sentance "It has no bad effects on me and I do realize other drugs are bad"
You called it a drug.
heh. Ya'll are forgetting the real meaning of a gateway drug. Gateway Drug means the user of a drug will lose their interest in the drug becuase they aren't expiriencing the same "high" as the first couple of times. They will then proceed to try harder drugs to acheive the same state of euphoria/w/e.
However, if you were to say that marijauna LED to other drugs, in general, without gateway drug in the sentance, then yes, I'd have to agree with you on general. But I also beleive alcohol and caffeine do the same thing. Anything that alters your mindstate in a noticeable way will get the user thinking about other drugs. Curiosity. It's inevitable, if you get drunk, you're going to realize, I feel different, I wonder what other things feel like. I'm not saying this is going to DRIVE YOU to do harder or addictive drugs, merely that the psychonaut curiosity will open up your mind from all the nauseating and smothering government/w/e anti-drug propaganda that we're fed on television and in school.
I knew, even when I was little, that I would try drugs. Wanna know why? DREAMS. I loved my dreams, I loved the things I could feel and taste and expirience with an altered state of consciousness.
Is Dreaming a gateway drug? Does it lead to harder drug use?
NO. Curiosity did. :thumbsup:
