Why Is Marijuana the Gateway Drug Instead of Alcohol?
Question by : Why is marijuana the gateway drug instead of alcohol?
Why is marijuana the “gateway” drug, when in fact the gate way drug to marijuana is drinking alcohol, so which is really more dangerous?
Also, in this day and age, why do some people still have views of marijuana that are from the 1940’s?
I just don’t understand how people can be so ignorant in the year 2013. I’m not saying go out and abuse it, but there are REAL medical benefits from marijuana that people are missing out on because of some stupid misconceptions.
You cannot argue with the facts, and if you want to take a shot at me, and call me a stupid stoner, you have already proved my point.

This is a rant, not a health question. I don’t disagree particularly with what you said, but this is not the right place for it.

Mainly because you don’t by booze from a drug dealer. A drug dealer pushes you to try harder stuff that is addictive so you come back and spend all your money with him.
That’s why I like what Washington and Colorado did. Take it away from dealers (stores won’t push you to try cocaine or heroin) and monitor the sellers closely. It will also drop the price dramatically!
