[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 702767, member: 18958"] I agree with your post for the most part and you certainly have got me thinking. In science there is what is known as the third variable problem. It can be as if "proven" that variable one causes variable two. Except it does not. There is a third or fourth variable that either causes, or influences both variables. They are both a factor of another unseen or unacknowledged other things. I have written here that to me marijuana is a gateway drug. I never, ever believed that until my son became an "addict." Nor did I ever believe marijuana was addictive. Until my son developed such problems and I was desperate to pin the tail on the donkey, any donkey. This is what I know (when I am honest with myself): my son has lacked motivation. my son can be a poor decision-maker. my son can withdraw and be morose. my son seeks solace and respite and mood stability and a sense of well-being from marijuana. Each of these things and all of them together could be the mover, rather than marijuana. I accept that. Except I want to blame the marijuana. [/QUOTE]
