It is, but I think alcohol and tobacoo are bigger gateway drugs.

The only reason I say cannabis is a gateway drug is because when you outlaw a substance, you make outlaws out of the people who use that substace. Thus, normally upstanding citizens who indulge in a perfectly acceptable habit are put in contact with people who commit other crimes, or use harder substances.

Gateway drug Weed was a gateway drug for me to the inevitable shrooms, LSD, speed ect. but i wouldn't say that i would never have experienced or experimented with other drugs without weed. I am kind of split over whether or not it is a gateway drug because while i have seen some people smoke weed and try nothing else, i have seen several friends get in deep only a year after they first smoked. Gateway drug or not a gateway drug? why? Rating: 5
