    My brother says he smokes because he gets headaches every day. I think it’s the other way around. That or it’s just his excuse.

    A reputable psychiatrist and addiction specialist once told me that cigarettes are more of a gateway drug than marijuana…makes sense IMO.

    why do police still say it to this day?

    And yet neither the dems nor the republicans are willing to legalize cannabis federally.

    Don’t believe this propagandist. The Gateway Hypothesis (GH) is still strongly supported by evidence, see drugabuse.gov. A 2015 study found 45% of cannabis users actually go on to use other illicit drugs.

    The war on drugs is such a farce.

    I always said “Marijuana Wasn’t the gateway… Dealers were the gateway… the guy that has the weed always had Other things.. Blow.. Speed..MDMA and Pain Killers … usually “

    It’s a gateway ,a gateway to your mind “”

    I’ve only ever smoked cannabis. Never even tobacco. I rarely drink also. Definitely not a gateway for me.

    Marijuana is a gateway drug…

    To alcohol

    I remember my health teacher saying you should *never* do weed, even recreationally, as u can become addicted. Then she said casual and social drinking are perfectly fine… 🙃
