marijuana is definetly not a gateway drug...it never made me want to do other drugs after i took it. I've smoking it for 2.5 years and the only other drug i've done is alcohol....and alcohol was the first thing that i got into, other then the stuff like caffeine and whatnot. I'm think i might do lsd sometime this summer but i done have to, and marijuana doesnt make me want to. If marijuana wasnt in existence all these other drugs still would be here and people would still be using them. its not marijuana that makes you do other drugs, thats like saying hugging someone makes you need to have sex with them. Its a proven fact that it isnt a gateway drug, and its unfortunate that governments still try to pass it off as one.
