I'd have to say that cannabis IS a gateway drug. I'm not saying that weed makes people do real, hard drugs. What i am saying is that when a person goes from not smoking weed to smoking weed certain doors may open up to them. I expirienced this myself, until i was eighteen i had only ever seen hash once and that was before i decided to try it. However, once i had started smoking and more importantly buying weed, other drugs then became accessable to me and as a resort i tried one other drug that i otherwise would not of.

It is in that sense that i beleive cannabis to be a gateway drug.

You must of expirienced it, you meet your dealer and he just slips into conversion that he can get or has got other stuff if you want it.
