Because pot is the easy one to get. It is ONLY a gateway drug in the fact that since it's illegal, and is sold by drug dealers that sell, and push, the harder drugs. There is no addictive quality in pot that causes one to go to harder stuff. The biggest enemies of making pot legal are people like you, that don't have clue what they are talking about. It's not a bad thing that you are clueless about pot, but you shouldn't advise on matters that you don't know about. The war on drugs has caused a 1000x more problems than it's helped, just like alcohol prohibitation did. Do you feel you have a right to tell others whether they can drink, or not? If not, what gives you that right with pot?

This is exactly correct. Don't know why it's so hard for people to understand.
