For many I do believe it is a gateway drug. It certainly was here, and for the people I know. Glad I ain't a part of that shit or their lifestyle any more, becuz for a while I was. I was 12 and already getting in deep shit and headed that way. Most of them are already dropping out of school and going absolutely no where in life. Now you can likely claim it was not simply the weed, and I will likely agree...but I suggest it sure didn't help as it's lifestyle lead to where they are...first dealing to support its use, then robbing when they came short...then before they knew it...was the crack. A couple of them I know are even into the needles now. Others in jail.

Our city is plague with drug use and the crime surrounding it, and the best way to avoid it and the shitty consequences, is to avoid it all.
People who are into crack and B and Es aren't into that stuff because of weed it's because they are for whatever reason just predisposed to that stuff. Or maybe it really was the weed that did that to them, that couldn't be the farthest thing from the case for me and most everybody I know. People who do that stuff are tweakers and true a lot of tweakers smoke weed but they don't do that stuff because weed they do it because they are tweakers like I said.

It's not possible for me just to be doing crack before I knew it, I am enough of a person and most people are to catch themselves before they do that.

Also CFH is completely right on how terribly they educate people on weed and how they educate people on other drugs aswell.

He is also right about alcohol being more of a gateway drug because alcohol straight effects your judgement which is waaaaay more dangerous then weed which if anything for me puts me off on the idea of other drugs.
