Study Shows That Marijuana Is NOT a Gateway Drug


By Brian Altenhofel - Posted on 06 September 2010

From Business Week:

A new report casts doubt on the argument that marijuana is a "gateway drug" that plays a major role in leading people to try other illegal drugs.

Researchers found that other factors, such as ethnicity and stress levels, are more likely to predict whether young adults will use other illegal drugs.

This shows that the 40-50 year old drug war has been based on lies, just like the lies by DuPont and William Randolph Hearst that led to prohibition in the first place.
