[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 233223, member: 59"] "I think pot is in the category with alcohol and cigarettes. For normal people with no problems, it can be just another recreational drug with no particular consequences. (although to say smoking ANYTHING has no particular consequences ignores what it is doing to your lungs, etc). For people who are going to get hooked on SOMETHING, pot is probably a gateway drug. " I agree with this. For my difficult child, drinking alcohol and smoking pot are gateway drugs. She has an addictive personality and the genes that makes these recreational activities very risky for her. She smokes, drinks, and has used pot. I have no doubt that she will continue to do so and move on to other things during the course of her lifetime. That's very sad for me because I see nothing in her behavior that gives me hope that she will gives these activities up. on the other hand, I know many other teens who do the above activities and for them it's just a phase.
