Well my opinion is that it gets you more familiar with the underworld since it's illegal (atleast in my country) since if you find way to buy weed you will be able to find coke or any kind of pills lateron. Also you get familiar of getting "high". Before you got high the first time, the idea of smoking weed and getting high was taboo, SO snorting coke or injecting heroin would be a hell no for you. But when weed replaces tobacco(atleast in my experience) or becomes a habit and not a big deal, next step would be taking LSD/MDMA and so on.
Why is marijuana a "Gateway Drug"?

Maybe if the taboo was off of something the numbers would go down because the curiousity factor goes down too. Every argument can go both ways not just in the direction an article or a video shows u.
Look it up since portugal and uraguay have decriminalized all drugs their numbers have actually come down!

Here's my theory on the subject, In ancient times cannabis was considered the gateway to enlightenment, in most mysticism including the bible the main characters are the hallucinogenic mushroom and the goddess cannabis, the virgin mary jane, venus. Sometimes Venus is portrayed as a hermaphroditic character another trait of the cannabis such as the Rebus in alchemy. The Statue of Liberty essentially symbolizes the Goddess, the cannabis holding up her torch of psychedelic fire/freedom. The 5 pointed star of Venus also symbolizes the marijuana.
If you take what's called The First Degree Tracing Board of Freemasonry... Paradise/infinity 33 lies between the two pillars of EL and Ven (Saturn and Venus) 11, and on the ladder is the green goddess and she holds the key 13 to unlock the door to your mind.

Unfortunately, some people are predisposed to addiction. Most people aren't. Natural selection is slowly whittling away the genes that make people more likely be addicted.
I drank like a fish and smoked cigs like a smokestack, and have walked away from each without even getting grouchy

Good that it worked out that way for you, bluto...but quitting smoking made me one grouchy SOB. I been off of them for 23 yrs now, but I still remember what a bitch quitting them was.
Some people ARE predisposed to addiction, too...you get 5-6 people sitting around doing coke? When it runs out, everyone goes to sleep......except for the one person who HAS to have more.
And will steal and hock the television to get it.....
For coke? Are you sure you don't mean crack or something harder? Stealing and stuff is not something commonly attributed in my parts with coke addiction. Still get ur point.Good that it worked out that way for you, bluto...but quitting smoking made me one grouchy SOB.

Most hard drug users have or do use Marijuana. On the flip side most marijuana users do not use hard drugs. It's the reverse that idiots use for their faulty gateway theory.

The real gateway drug is alcohol. I tried weed, shrooms, coke, pills, and ecstasy while I was already drunk and at parties. If I was ever stoned I was just happy to be stoned, and maybe had a drink if offered. I think there is just a little bit of truth in weed being the gateway drug just because some dealers pittle in everything. It's like an upsell for them, a way to make some extra cash. One reason that I grow now is to not have to deal with the shadiness, not that's much wrong with anything in moderation. Except for meth...not even once! Haha
