I posted here on the
gateway drug aspect of marijuana a few months ago, but after watching
this joints PSA, I realized I might be arguing the wrong issue.
It seems a lot of people start smoking pot due to social pressure, as it seems like the cool thing to do which will make you popular somehow. But what if you're growing up in a clean house, with parents that don't take drugs and would be opposed to you doing so, and now you're day-in and day-out sitting on the fact that you're tokin every day?
Seems that much more than physical addictive qualities like
crystal meth, the alienation that would cause from one's friends would be more the factor that would drive one to harder drugs.
I know, as someone who takes no drugs, I'm not going to get much agreement on anything in this forum, but at least I might stand enlightened on what actually happens.
