[QUOTE="C.J., post: 233157, member: 1987"] If we took a look at my family - siblings and cousins born from 1960 to 1976, (there were 17 of us) and put us into two categories - #1 Abstained or tried it once and #2 Regular pot smoker, we find the members of the first group have attained some level of higher education, have stable jobs, and stable homes, and no criminal history. The members of the second group have instability - from homes, to jobs, to money, to friends and family. We've got two convicted felons in that group. Me, I abstained totally. When I was three or four, we went to visit a great uncle's house at Thanksgiving. He smoked cigars. I took a drag when no one was looking, and puked my guts out. Best lesson I ever learned. I never smoked another thing for the rest of my life. To answer the question, is it a gateway drug? It seems to be a gateway to a chaotic lifestyle. The people who push the drugs want repeat business and new customers. They have learned a few things from the cigarette manufacturers - make the product addictive. Make the consumers desire other participants when using the product. [/QUOTE]
