That doesn't mean that weed caused this to happen, it just the original personality of the person before they do any drug that determines what happens.

That is exactly right and I couldn't have worded it better. People's personalities determine whether or not they will venture into the harder drugs or not. Using marijuana doesn't make you want to do harder drugs like some people believe it will. The person would have delved into harder drugs regardless of their use of marijuana.
