I'm not saying that the gateway drug theory is proven or that it's 100% right. I'm simply saying that I agree with it's 3 main ideas which are:
1. Once you try one illegal drug, your moral barrier has been compromised and you are more likely to try something harder.
2. Most people start with lower level drugs (like pot) that are easier to get, cheaper and less socially frowned upon.
3. Once you experience the high of one drug, you are more likely to want to experiment with others.

K, thats cool but as stated anything can be put in that equation not just weed... making that gateway drug theory bunk.. or if real.. again weed is just as much of a gateway drug as;
(quick list from low - high?)
cafine, nicotine, ADD pills (which turns to meth faster than..), weed (uhh huh), alchohol (we all found ways to get this as young teens.. did the booze make you do the LSD or did you do the LSD? finding an excuse to be a nigger is just nigger btw..) NOS (haha idiots) DXM (robotrippin which is super common for MIDDLESCHOOLERS) Ecstacy (more 10-13 yr olds doing this than weed.. & these kids probley never even tried weed let alone 'good' weed so get facts right.. I we used to call em 'prosti-tots' in the scene where you would litterally see like a 12 yr old wearing like 'NOTHING' but her candy & its like OMGWTF.. I'm sure it was the weed that got that slut started down that path & it totally was not daddy issues or something else like that lol) etc. etc. etc. etc.
Again I will argue all day that weed is not a 'gateway' drug (or that infact the gateway drug theory is completely bunk) or that it is just as much of a 'gateway' as EVERYTHING else.
Weed does have two other very real dangers.. these issues are still;
1) kills motivation (even if to the slightest degree it does in EVERYONE)
2) driving under the influence on weed is just as bad as alchohol & just like alchohol it can be hard to tell when your too fuct to drive..
So yeah I can blow up the gateway drug theory but those two key issues I cannot/wouldnot overlook when looking at weed.
