Long story short...couldnt find ANY statistics on this but whilst working on a thesis I needed to know the incidence of marijuana being found in the company ( same venue or vehicle) as the hard narcotics.
Had to poll all the cops I know-which was a bunch- in five different states. The consensus was well over 60% of the time when hard drugs were found, marijuana was present.
Coincidence? I think not.



Make of it what you will.


Of the marijuana users I've known over the years who used it regularly on a daily basis, all eventually went on to use other drugs as well-- hash, LSD, pills (pain/uppers/downers), cocaine, heroin, meth, etc. At least two (that I know of) died from AIDs contracted from shared needles.

As always, YMMV.
