weed... a gateway drug?

I think it depends on how you look at the word gateway.. I have been smoking for almost 8 years now and have never tried anything harder then mushroomz... The way that marijuana is sort of a gateway drug is that where u go to get weed there might be other drugs going on. So it is a gateway to where other drugs are.. it doesnt mean that since u somke weed then you'll do crack....it is a gateway because it brings these other drugs around you...
and now with all of these STUPID commericials about supporting terrorism if u smoke weed...thats all bullsh*t.. I know where half of the weed i get comes from: either my friends and I grow it.. or it comes form canada.... but marijuana for the most part is still, "THE DEVILS WEED"...
doesnt bother me though

if marijuana is a gateway drug....

i'd be willing to bet that most people (i'm not so sure, but i know it applies for me and all my friends) cigs and/or alcohol came before marijuana... so what's REALLY the gateway drug?


how far back can you go?

i tried cigs, and it wasnt for me, i still drink occaisionally but weed is DEFINITElY my drug of choice, i use it most every day, and i'm still a perfectly functioning member of society

yup

man my mom knows i smoke but dosent like it. so the other day she gave me this article that says weed is a gateway drug. but in the people they tested they didnt say if the people had started on caffiene or cigs or alcohol. it was a totally bogus study and i tried to tell my mom and she started yelling at me and told me to come back to reality. i think it scares her that it is illegal and i could get caught doing it. sucks though man

i think it depends on the person ... people who would have done harder drugs ... would have done them before weed ... and yeah ... they prolly started off cigs and alchohol ...

Well.. I'd say caffeine.

And yeah.. the bullshit propaganda machine is in full swing after 9-11. I'm just glad we have people out there who put commercials out about how buying GASOLINE also contributes to terrorism (and to a greater effect, IMO).

So.... I guess that would make every single person with an automobile a contributor to terror. Big fuckin' deal. We still have to deal with the terrorists.

My theory on why marijuana is slightly a "gateway" drug:

We have been told since our early days in school that marijuana is a dangerous killer. Once we find out that they were not truthful with us regarding marijuana... then we wonder what else they've been fibbing about.

And this commercial that shows a bunch of kids getting busted in the school bathroom for smoking in the stall (how fuckin' stupid of them anyway?).

At the end it says "Marijuana, harmless?". Excuse me.. but I believe it was the COPS doing the harm there. If it's the law that is the biggest danger of smoking pot.. well then does it really need to be illegal in the first place?

Not that I support smoking at school at all.. it's just the whole message of the commercial is BULLSHIT!

when I was really young, like grade 4-5, me and my pals used to roll up peices of paper and smoke them.

i can remember once saying i wish there was something in the paper, so i guess paper was my gateway drug! hahha, little kids are stupid

lol

smoking papers, good one

Naw, weed isn't a gateway drug, that's just propaganda. of the millions who toke on a regular basis, only a handfull do other shit. that is personality and social situation kicking in (peer pressure maybe)

if you want to label something as a gateway drug, i'd say xtc and amphetamines fits the bill. most kids who go on to be hard-core drug-abusers these days started with the socalled party dope at raves. oh, and they were drunk too.

Marijuana is not a gateway drug, boredom is, think about it when you sit around and do something boring, how could i have fun in this situation and then it pops in your head about other shit and man i have been smoken since 13 and the hardest drug i have done is shrooms and that was at a dave matthews concert(im 23)

I think alcohol would be the gateway drug. Well not "gateway" as in leading to other/harder drugs but just the fact that when you are drunk, you are more prone to try stupid things so you might do coke or speed or something of the bunch becuz you can. Weed is certainly not a gateway drug.
