What they are saying is pretty much the same as saying 100% of drunk driving accidents are done by people who drive a vehicle, so vehicles are the cause of drunk driving accidents.

The analogy is specious. A vehicle is a requirement in order to have an accident whether you are drunk or not. It is not a variable that is being tested. On the other hand, smoking marijuana at some time is not a requirement for being addicted to harder drugs. It is the variable that is tested. The results, however uncomfortable they may make you, incontrovertibly suggest that marijuana can be, and is a gateway drug for many people. The disparity is not slight, it's enormous.

Shutup stupid.

Well, I have on thing in common with this thread. I got drunk and high last night. Yippee!

Ouch Thantos.. way to make me feel good :(

I just like to bend the rules of my everyday reality! Don't hate me!

ok I'm not a smoker myself, but most of my family is and I think that story is crap, no offence intended to anyone^^

Marijuana = my favorite houseplant.
