There seems to be a lot of debate over drugs such as marijuana being a gateway drug. And I decided to put together a informative thread about illegal drugs, legal highs, and everything in between. And hopefully this will inform you on which is worse... Marijuana or other drugs... and is Marijuana a gateway drug? If you think so then so is caffeine, tobacco, and cough medicine.

I would like to get into greater detail, as in chemical structure, but this is pretty good. Also hope you enjoyed this...
There is proof that legal drugs are worse then illegal drugs such as
MARIJUANA!!! And Marijuana isn't a gateway drug in my opinion!
[multipage=My Opinions]
My opinion on drugs are that if you call Marijuana a gateway drug then so are legal drugs, cough medicine, Excedrin etc. I also believe that Marijuana isn't a gateway drug do to the fact that "Triple C" which is more addictive and has more deaths from overdose then Marijuana... and I have never heard of anyone overdosing on Marijuana!
I would love to hear your opinion on drugs etc... please don't flame if you disagree with me... I gave you basic facts.

A nice fact to add to this 99% of marijuana users don't use harder drugs, but 99% of people who used harder drugs have used marijuana, which makes it easy to ignore the majority who don't use hard drugs and try to make the gateway point by data from people who use hard drugs
^ Thanks again ihaxgames.
If you'd like further details please view those links!!! Also I will eventually add more drugs. But all in all, don't go hating on Marijuana because its a sin in the US.. its not even as bad as Cough Medicine...
