Re: New Federal Report on Marijuana Use is Misleading

Marijuana is *not* a gateway drug, simply because relationships with people are the gateways, not the drugs. For instance, I live in a fairly nice college area outside Baltimore, and I buy weed regularly. T




How does this refute the theory?

I'm not really sure what the term means, but its at least impossible to prove its not a gateway drug without doing experiments.

I tend to think its correlated with people who will use harder drugs, so I guess its a gateway drug in that sense, but I can't really figure out if there's some definition of the term or if people just throw it around for impact wihtout defining just what they're discussing.
