    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.

    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 “

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

    Marijuana is a gateway drug…

    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… 🙃
