Drug Policy

so it seems that perhaps the only reason marijuana may be a 'gateway drug' at all has to do with where you get the stuff. if you get it from someone selling harder stuff, this increases the chances of going to harder stuff. But divorce marijuana from other drugs and that step up to other stuff tends to disappear. That makes sense. Plus it makes sense to me to not arrest everyone with marijuana residue on them. Another way to send people to harder drugs. Very interesting.
