Weed isn't a gateway drug. The problem is the way people are wired. Lots of people are just prone to dependency. They might start with weed, or alcohol, and go on to other things. And then there's people who can social drink and never be a drunk or smoke weed and have no desire to try anything else.
Our society has a tendency to demonize instead of discuss. The real problem is in the people, not in the drugs. As we saw with prohibition, that shit doesn't work.
