This is in regards to the comment suggesting there was a study done on 1,000's of participants who all said their first "Illicit Drug" was cannabis. If tobacco, at the time this study was done... was considered illegal. That probably would have been their answer. But when I ask you.. what was your first drug of choice? How many of you would say tobacco? NONE OF YOU. Because society as a whole doesn't consider tobacco a drug, so thus most people would not put that up as an answer. But, nicotene is a drug. If you want to label anything as a gateway, start with tobacco. [spoiler]My personal history: Tobacco Cannabis Alcohol Meth LSD Shrooms Started tobacco because I was hanging out with the wrong crowd in highschool, naturally moved up to cannabis. Tried alcohol but moved back to cannabis. The choice was simple; get sick and throw up or get happy and hungry. Meth was just a little 2 week binge expirement with the neighbor that I quickly realized to get the hell away from. LSD was just about the same scenario and figured shrooms would be the safer alternative. But then I found out, that I am completely immune to the effects of Shrooms...... so there's that. How do I know this? Because I took twice as much as everyone else in the room and they all thought the walls were melting. ME? I literally, got nothing from it.. not even tracers. I was pissed. So I'm stuck with cannabis. What have I learned from all of this? STAY THE -blam!- AWAY FROM METH! Unless you want to see how quickly that downward spiral can go. [/spoiler]
