CNN Headline News on Marijuana Legalization – Gateway Theory?
The “Gateway Theory” has been proven false, and in fact, the exact opposite of reality. Studies show marijuana use actually discourages heavy drug use. Marijuana (Cannabis) is being used to TREAT opiate and alcohol addiction. Now how do we get the media to report the truth instead of spreading Reefer Madness? Here is the brand new study debunking the Gateway Myth: bit.ly More: www.scienceblog.com www.csdp.org www.showmethefacts.org blog.mpp.org
This should be legal! I dont understand why alcohol, a man made “drug”, is legal but marijuana, a plant straight from the earth, is not. Shouldn’t the use of marijuana be up to each individual just as alcohol is as long as the user is of legal age?

“I dunno what this says about our viewers but they want to legalize marijuana”. wtf? who do you think your viewers are? THE AMERICAN PUBLIC!
that old lady is fucking retarded. “bring in drugs” ?? are you fuckin blind? we have PLENTY of drugs being sold by shady ppl to customers of any age. this bitch clearly has lost all contact with the real world.
as for the gateway theory:
lets say, 95% of heroin users started with weed
that does NOT mean 95% of weed smokers will end up doing heroin
90% of serial killers have drank soda
does that mean 90% of people who drink soda will become serial killers?
as you can see, its total bullshit
I have been smoking pot for fucken yrs and have never tried another drug. The gateway arguement is utter bullshit. That Jewell bitch is a moron and desperatley needs a cone!!!!!! A root wouldnt hurt either
i honestly dont see how smoking a herb leads to snorting rocks and putting needles in your arm
When some parts of Holland legalized cannabis, they successfully separated cannabis from hard drugs, and the amount of people who use cannabis and never go on to hard drugs literally dropped over 85%.
When you go into a liquor store, does the clerk ask you if you want to buy some cocaine and heroin? No he doesn’t because its a LEGALLY REGULATED store.
When you go to a ILLEGAL drug dealer to buy cannabis, he might ask if you would like to try some cocaine/heroin.
Simple logic dickheads.
Marijuana isnt a heavy drug…its a less heavy drug than alcohol or tobacco…hell, its less addictive and better for you than sugar!
seriously, fuck all of you people that think its bad like i wish they had a rule, If you have tried it you can vote yes or no for it, if you haven’t than you cant say shit all about it. Cause those fuckers that haven’t even seen it or even smoked should not even have the right to express there feelings about it
WE ARE HIGH ON DRUGS! CHINESE SMOKE CIGARETES AND OPEN FACTORIES, RUSSIANS DRINK VODKA AND SELL GAS TO EUROPE, WE SMOKE WEED AND SNORT COCAINE. FROM ALL 3 NATIONS WE ARE VERY STUPID. CHINESE DAMAGE THEIR LUNGS, RUSSIANS DAMAGE THEIR LIVER, BUT WE ARE RETARDS WE FUCK OUR BRAIN ! WE SHOULD NEVER LEGALIZE WEED, WE SHOULD CLOSE ALL BORDERS AND PEOPLE WHO BRING COCAINE AND WEED TO OUR POWERFUL COUNTRY MUST SERVE MAXIMUM SENTENCE! WTF ? BRAZILIAN AND COLUMBIAN COFFEE, ITS ALREADY A DRUG WAKE UP!
i like how all the people who are hatin on the pro weed people say OH ITS NOT WORTH THE HEALTH RISKS AND JUST NOT A FINANCIAL OPTION…. THIS ISNT ABOUT FINANCE YOU DUMB BITCH ITS ABOUT FREEDOM AND THE CHILDREN
fucking ignorant fuck-offs
HOLLYWOOD MAKES MOVIES WHERE A DOG IS FUCKING A PILLOW, DO WE REALLY NEED TO LEGALIZE WED?
Most people addicted to hard drugs started with alcohol…not all but most. Marijuana being ILLEGAL and lumped in with other illegal drugs is perceived by many ignorant people to be in the same category as heroin, meth, and crack. Marijuana smokers have been stamped, stigmatized, and have become scapegoats for users and addicts of hard drugs. There will probably be a day, hopefully soon, when most everyone will have a good laugh at such a stupid notion.
alcohol is worse for your body and mental health than pot is.
god the whole gateway theory shit drives me crazy, NOBODY has ever been able to prove it scientifically, I mean if you’re an alcoholic is the fact that when you were a kid you drank milk from a bottle your gateway? And is not like you wake up one day and start smoking pot so shouldn’t the gateway be cigarettes?
It’s funny how the conservative are usually less intelligent.
Do they really think taxing marijuana will not get the attention of the IRS?
Obama just hired an army of IRS agents for this reason.
Your identification will be scanned whenever this is purchased and all that information will find it’s way to auto insurance companies, worker’s compensation liability insurance companies and government agencies.
These people keep feeding the IRS monster.
Ask yourself who was busting the alcohol bootleggers… Revenue agents…
TIME TO JOIN A TEA PARTY!
why dont you smoke some natural legal herbs
I smoke weed and I would never go out and try crack, heroin, or any substance that would lead to my body to become physically dependent on it. All of my friends have the same view. Let me tell you something. The people I’ve met in life who take hard and dangerous drugs did not start because of marijuana. It started with a combination of the family they had, the area they grew up in, the DECISIONS THEY made, and the people in their lives who influenced them into doing it. Weed is totly irrelevant
Weed isn’t a drug. It’s a plant. A drug is man-made. That’s my opinion, anyway. Alcohol is worse than weed.
@Dopedagainmusic: It was an exaggerated play on the whole “Gateway Theory” bullshit.
@MayorBeeDoes420 gatway drugs for 99% of world population: alcool & tabaco
@SpeCulaTionS101 ???????? WTF WAS DAT?
i hope US legalize this drug so that we have more reasons to laugh at americans…lol
Wow my friends 12+ can get weed any wear
