i have smoked weed for 5 years now starting late high school. to say weed is a gateway drug is to say addiction is universal, which would be to say that alcohol or food is a gateway drug.
the addiction to drugs of a person who started out on weed is habitual. that is to say the habit of smoking led to a new lifestyle, new friends. the subject wont stop not because they are chemically addicted but because they know no other way of amusing/occupying them self. if this is true it is the behavior which needs to be checked rather than the substances.
behavior which i suspect was learned before the first joint was smoked. almost all of the people i know who have ever smoked weed smoked tobacco first. try and find someone calling nicotine a gateway drug.
