Not all of this is true. Some of the people I k ow who deal pot tend to stay away from the other drugs. Unless its a special occasion or something. As far as being a gateway that argument holds some merit. However I know people who smoke pot but won't touch a cigarette. While some smoke and don't drink. Then I know a few who use hard stuff and won't touh anything else. It's a rotating door of possibilities. But everyone I know who does pot with other drugs like the two together. They all say that pot enhances their high. So it can be a gateway drug AND it can not be a gateway drug. Everyone is different

Okay, let's put it like this then. A first time user is much more likely to smoke a little bit of pot than to shoot up heroin or drop a hit of LSD. Hence the gateway drug effect, it's just logical to assume the wade in approach rather than the over your head approach. :biggrin:
