No, there is not 'no evidence'.
You just don't like/agree with it.
Yale study: Marijuana may really be gateway drug
Yale study: Marijuana may really be gateway drug - Connecticut Post
Personally, I believe it can be a gateway drug for some people.
How many? No idea. Probably not the majority that start meth/crack/heroin.
For me it was booze/arrogance/being semi-tricked into it.
Note: again, I quit in '02.
I strongly agree with legalizing drugs though.
That study does nothing to indicate causation, but merely verifies correlation. As such, it does nothing at all toward evidence showing that Mj is a gateway.
And this is very typical of the way such sloppiness is presented. It does not indicate what they say it indicates, and people swallow it uncritically. Thank you for demonstrating exactly what I was talking about in an earlier post, so perfectly.
