I too believe marijuana is a gateway drug. I personally know of a young man who started smoking it when he was fifteen. He ran the gambit pot, meth, perscription drugs. He ended up adicted to oxycotin and hydrocodone. He also introduced his yonger brother to marijuana and other drugs. He became addicted to hydrocodone.

The older brother died three years ago due to an oxycotin overdose. He also had marijuana in his system. The younger brother is now a recovering addict.

These young men are my sons. I'm not telling this to get your sympathy. I'm just telling this to say be careful. People that sell you drugs don't give a crap about you. All they want is your dollar. When you are down and out with no money they move to someone else to make their living.
