I feel like weed gets a bad rap as being a gateway drug. The true gateway drug is alcohol. I don’t know a single person that smokes weed before trying alcohol for the first time.

I actually hate the term gateway drug all together. It’s stupid. I know people that drink and tried weed but never really took to it. I know people that smoke weed but never do any other drugs. I also knew people In the past that did harder drugs but mostly cuz they were into uppers.

My point is that weed is not a gateway drug. gateway drug is a stupid term cuz people do stuff on their own free will.

Also how has the government of this state and/or Nola not realized that they could make a shite ton of money by legalizing weed and sports betting?

I had a cousin that was a good God fearing man and then he smoked that devil’s lettuce one time, and now he lives in San Francisco with a bunch of homosexuals living a life of sexual depravity. I also heard he doesn’t even smoke that marijuana anymore he injects it straight into his penis

The true gateway drug is oxygen.

If humans weren’t so fricking addicted to oxygen they wouldn’t move on to hard drugs.

Never smoked weed and then went out looking for cocaine. Cannot say the same about a fifth of whiskey.

I did weed a bunch of times. I also never put a needle in my arm or smoked crack. I guess I just got lucky...

The real gateway drug is sugar. Really.

No... its cigarettes

Here was my progression/timeline on illicit substances...


Tobacco
Alcohol
Weed
Mushrooms
Cocaine
PCP
Ecstasy
Acid
Crack


So I guess tobacco was my gateway drug.

Friend,

Both marijuana and alcohol are deadend drugs and gateway drugs. Both marijuana and alcohol destroy personal dreams, families, and societies. They are the adversary to and anathema to arete. Yes, they lead some people down the path of even greater destruction. Be not deceived, though, the path lined with marijuana and alcohol is already destruction. Beware. May all good and just societies, when their constituent members do not freely and happily reject these drugs (a fallacy because all good and just societies are made of members who do not partake in these wicked substances) legislate against them.

Yours,
TulaneLSU

Then you mustn’t know too many people

I knew tons of kids in NOLA that smoked weed before they ever drank alcohol bc the weed was easier to get

A few of those kids quickly moved to Vicodin, then Vicodin and alcohol - then I didn’t hang out with them anymore - some of the kids went weed to alcohol - none of these kids smoked cigarettes bc they thought it was nasty

My good friend that smoked - smoked for years b4 trying weed - but only did it once - but then drank a lot

Most of the kids that illegally drank, only drank bc their parents bought it for them and made them drink at home - so they never did drugs when I knew them

However, after working with several rehab centers you can quickly see how weed can be a gateway drug - so I don’t think it might be a gateway drug for EVERYONE but it definitely is for some

Even if it’s legalized you will still have the illegal element - as for the sports betting - I have no idea what’s taking so long with that must be the N Louisiana politicians that don’t believe in drinking, gambling and dancing
