I NEED FEEDBACK! People Say That Marijuana Is a Gateway Drug That Leads to Harder Drug Use. Just a BIG LIE?

Published May 15, 2010

I believe these people either have their facts misconstrued or they are intentionally misleasing us.

It is true that many people who currently use hard drugs like cocaine, heroine or crystal meth have tried marijauna first. But, here is the fallacy in their arguments: Most people who have tried marijuana have also illegally tried cigarettes or alcohol first. I say illegally because they were probably under 18 and 21 when they first tried cigarettes or alcohol.

Of course, the alcohol and tobacco industry would argue that marijuana is the main gateway drug, but their argument is based on self interests; mainly on billions of dollars of potentially lost revenue. These two industries could care less about our health, as long as we continue to spend our money on their products, they’re happy.

So to reiterate, Alcohol and Tobacco are the ultimate gateway drugs; the real root of the problem.
