Is cannabis a gateway drug?

Gateway to gardening, music, arts, creative thinking.

What’s funny is the only two things I tried after cannabis was alcohol and cigarettes. I found out that I love cannabis and I hate alcohol and cigarettes lmao

I always said the only reason it got a name for been a gateway drug is because we were forced to go to drug dealers to get weed these dealers often sold coke & pills on the side and would offer them to there customers

Once I did my own research on cannabis and it’s positives and small list of potential negatives, I realized it’s perfect for medicinal use. They did lie, and propagandize against the beautiful plant that offers so many of us a similar love, appreciation, and or hobby. Gov. only hold themselves back not legalizing.

It’s a getaway drug, but so is everything. Food, caffeine, melatonin, anything that helps or makes you feel different in anyway is a gateway drug. I was on heroin and many other drugs for over a decade. I can get addicted to anything it doesn’t have to be drugs. If you have a addictive personality that is the problem

People forget or don't realise that cigarettes and vaping give you a buzz initially

Doesn’t matter what it is but if you’re in hailing anything into your lungs you’re causing damage that’ll probably contribute to driving up already high insurance premium for everybody else.

Cannabis is 100% a gateway drug now it does not mean that weed is going to make you want to try other drugs that’s a common Misconception, and it’s not that it makes you curious but it lowers your guard making you more willing, for instance it’s a gateway drug way drug in the sense that I have friends who also smoke weed and weed is a social drug so I go to my friends house and he is doing coke, ofc you can say no but I’m stoned and it seems like a good time so I do a bump and then that led to us doing 2-3 8balls a night and at the end of the day I would have never went to his house and got caught up doing coke had I not smoked weed in the first place making it a gateway to other people and drugs and the same thing goes for shrooms, crack, meth, mdma, you usually don’t start with those it’s usually you going to a friends to smoke and it just happens. So once again it is a gateway drug because of those reasons, hate me for the facts of you want but if anybody gets upset with this post you are easily influenced and this probably states true for you go get help.

Cannabis isnt a gateway drug, it's just in a gateway market. It's not about weed, or curiosity. It's the market. Put it in a black market and you will learn and be offered other opportunities through that market. It's a gateway market and EVERYONE seems to be missing that simple connection. It's the market

Ironically the first drug I tried was cocaine. Followed by alcohol and then I was introduced to amphetamines and specifically MDMA. Loved it. I think weed came next. Then LSD/Shrooms. They were in the same year but I think I had shrooms first and prefer shrooms now. Heroine was next. It was whatever. Didn't stick with it. Fucked my world up when I tried DMT after that. Throughout all of that I've tried basically every designer and over the counter highs you can come across. From DXM to ODing on 5htp.


Now a days I mostly smoke but I'd rarely turn down a drug if it was given to me under the right circumstances.


There's absolutely nothing wrong with drugs if your body and mind can handle them. Don't let them handle you.

That's the best way I've heard anyone address this. @jollyroger you're a genius!

[cantfindmysoup]

It’s only a gateway if your getting it from places and people who do other drugs 💯

[JohnDoe-cdro]

That's deep. Never thought about it like that.

[jonathanleviton]

This guy smoked weed and got paranoid when he was 16, now he is on a mission to save the world

[Boosted_aj]

smoking weed for the first time made me realize i cant trust everything i hear no matter from who without EVIDENCE. Its really improved my outlook in life. (I became less gullible), Albeit i could have saved more money lol.

Cannabis has allowed me to go back to work.

After bring crushed by a drunk driver and fight with pancreatic cancer, I was suffering badly from chronic pain.

High milligram Delta 9 and Delta 8 with CBD gummies has made life bearable.

People just croup every effect of drugs to weed because it was easier than explaining every drug individually

[aaronhopkins]

In a bad way it can be a gateway to the junk food section. But otherwise it's a gateway to a healthy life for many if not all people all around the world m

[NGPEnTERPRISALL]

Actually its rather simple all we need is ewual cbd and thc and less synthetic, more organic.. you agree?

[seanclements]

The gateway is breaking the law. It allows people to do something relatively harmless and illegal so it can skew your opinions on other illegal things.
