    It is a gateway drug, not the. But it is the one that forwards most people to harder drugs.

      nictoine would be a gateway drug too if you had to meet with a shady dude in an alleyway or get bitcoin to buy it

      Since weed is still illegal in many/most places, getting your hands on some could also introduce you to criminal elements that can provide a shorter route to harder drugs.

      I write that as I recall joining a buddy as he went to some guys apartment to buy weed, and in the living room we were met with the dealer casually shooting heroin, asking if we’d like some. I can’t recall ever having a stronger “holly shit I need to get out of here”-feeling.

      I suddenly felt way too close to a road I did not want to go down.
