I'm not sure you read my post correctly. I am not assuming weed is a gateway drug. You are probably confused.
The whole 'weed is a gateway drug to harder drugs' falls flat in the face of the FACT that alcohol is a better 'gateway' statistically to hard drugs than weed could ever be.

it's not really debatable. you're speaking strictly about youth when the fact is people of all ages smoke weed.
I did read your post correctly and I read it a few times to make sure I was not confused by your implication/assumption which is that people will segue from weed to another more powerful drug, that's a gateway.
perhaps you didn't understand what you wrote.
