So if pot is a gateway drug to worse drugs, but it also one of the worst drugs out there since its schedule 1 along w heroin.

With that logic shooting someone in a game is as bad as doing it in real life since video games can be a "gateway" to real life violence

"Gateway drugs" aren't recognized by the addiction and mental health profession, by and large. Everyone starts with something, and it's likely to be a drug that produces a lesser effect. Marijuana doesn't "cause" anyone to go on to other drugs, and most people who use it don't. If anything [i]were[/i] a gateway drug, it's alcohol, but God forbid we come down on our favorite national beverage.
