as far as pot being a gateway drug ,all i know is ,in the 1970's and 80's ,everyone of my cousins and my wifes cousins and my friends in high school ,and in the Army , who went to heroin and pills .Everyone of them started with pot first, i know ,because they told me so ,or i abeserved it as it was happining
Did they perhaps drink alcohol before they ever tried pot?
Engage in any other risky behavior?
