And I think this is a good thing. For the main reason that people, especially younger ones are no longer exposed to the hard drugs and the criminal element. Making weed illegal makes criminals out of people as well

It is of course totally improved to the total misnomer. People who work in the field say that young people tend to go over weed and then switch to hard drugs as it is not enough. And the criminals have a field day
Proving yet again that unthinking people like you label people like me right wingers without any knowledge of what I am improving you are completely dumb @PicturesOfABetterTomorrow
@Mathers No, your garbage politics get you labeled right wing. Words have meanings. That is why dictionaries exist. Not that you have ever used a book.
And all you can do is throw insults when you have no valid arguments just logical fallacies most people learn not to make in high school.
@Mathers fair point, but you used anecdotes, so I used one.
If we want to be fair, we'd need to look at verified statistics. Most pot smokers don't go on to become heroin addicts.
If we argue slippery slope fallacies, as Pics pointed out, I could argue caffeine is a gateway drug to cocaine, but that would make me a silly sausage.
The theory of weed as a gateway drug remains controversial. However, not all research supports this theory. Even studies suggesting people who use cannabis are more likely to use other drugs often fail to prove that cannabis directly leads to other drug use.
@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow well there we go then. We have actual data we can work with. In my case, my results were the same. I've never done anything harder than weed or alcohol.
