At one time some dealers of pot would lace the drug with small quantities of something harder. Then they would stop doing that and hope the cistomer would move up. [[User:Markr|Markr]] 13:15, 15 November 2008 (EST)

They are all "gateway drugs" in the sense that those prone to abuse and seek greater detachment/escapism/(choose a motive) through drugs are likley to start on one or more of these more commonly available subtances before moving on to other drugs. On the otherhand, if the term "gateway drug" is used in a way that suggests a majority of users are necessarily or likely to go on to further things then there is no particular evidence of this, other than the fact (made in the comment above) that cannabis is illegal and users are more exposed to other drugs. The term gateway drug is, like many 'slippery slope' arguments used when the debator lacks the knowledge in other credible arguments. [[User:DavidMilton1|DavidMilton1]] 18:53, 17 March 2012 (EDT)

Marijuana is not a gateway drug in any sense of the word. If you smoke/have been smoking marijuana for a while, you will not eventually start heroine, cocaine, meth, etc. The whole myth of it being a gateway drug is just that: A myth, mostly created by the government during the "Just say no" period of the Drug War. In addition, marijuana is not lethal (Unless you smoke a couple THOUSAND.), and it does not kill braincells. These are, once again, just myths/lies/fibs/etc created by the government. Simple, really. --[[User:GunnerRecall|GunnerRecall]] 16:43, 17 August 2008 (EDT)

:Oh thank you. Now I'll start to use Marijuana because you completely convinced me with your facts, proofs and logic. Not. --[[User:AdamE|AdamE]] 11:22, 29 August 2008 (EDT)
