The Gateway Drug




OK. This is a tired old argument. We have all heard about the fact that marijuana is illegal even though cigarettes and alcohol is more likely to kill one. My argument for legalization is slightly different.
People know marijuana to be the gateway drug. In my opinion this is entirely true, but the reason it is the gateway drug is because it is illegal.
The only place you can have access to it is on the black market, where, guess what… You also have access to coke and heroin. If marijuana was legal it would cease to be the gateway drug, and vice-versa, if cigarettes were to become illegal they would be dubbed the new gateway drug.
