I hate it when some people say marijuana is a gateway drug.

Well it is a gateway drug. One cannot escape the facts once a person has started to do cannabis etc. it is only a matter of time till they start looking for a better bigger buzz than the last. You cannot base an argument on how you feel personally, you need to take a world viewpoint on such a matter as important as this

All the drugs I ever did, guess which one I tried first.

You guessed it...the gateway drug.

Until then I was anti-drug.

Same here. Same for many, many people I know.

OP, like anyone who wishes to sell their own subjective as "the correct" perspective is being just as bad as anyone else who would impose their reality tunnel on you.

Yet more arrogant presumption.

Of course, with all the stoners here, he's preaching to the choir.

Another GLP circle jerk.

If you want to experiment I've got no problem with that. Although, some of the greatest acheivers in life, don't need drugs.

There are other recreational things to do like kayaking.

I enjoyed the time I did watching the Wall, getting stoned.

But I would rather be kayaking then getting killing brain cells, or damaging my ability to judge things.

You weedheads are always good for some drama about how magical weed is and how it can save the world. LOL.

Im not a stoner and never felt like a stoner even when i smoked weed. Weed made me feel connected to life and nature. it made me feel aware and less out of it. But then again i was always drawn to nature and how things worked way before i ever smoked weed (around 15yo). I believe weed just brings out what is already in the person ...it does not make you who you are not. If a person is naturally a stoner (someone out of it) then that is who they are and that is what weed will bring out.

And i dont smoke weed anymore. Not for years now. But i know my physical and mental self very well. My spiritual self i am still learning. There are three parts to a person. Mental, physical and spiritual.

So what?

What has ANY of that got to do with Marijuana not being a gateway drug?

The point is: Marijuana is most often the first illegal drug people try. Once they have done this, sampled a drug that they have been told all their lives is "bad" for them, and found it to be a substance they enjoy, they are going to question the people who have been telling them all along not to do it.

They are going to have less faith in those people who told them not to do it.

They are going to be more open than they were before to trying things labeled "bad" by those same people, because they've tried one, and found out that those people were talking bollocks.

In this sense, it most certainly IS a gateway drug.
