Unsurprisingly, I found the marijuana article to be the most interesting. Too bad it's a gateway drug, huh. Nice lil' comical touches here and there. I'll definitely follow this feature.
Marijuana is about as much a "gate-way" drug as milk is.
The only reason it could even be remotely called a gatway drug is the factor it is placed in the same bunch as all the rest, and that is the illegal category. So therefore, the "store" you buy it from might be out of stock of what you normally buy, and you even though you normally don't change brands, you might get bored or curious and that is where the factor comes into play. So all they have to do, is make pot legal and sell it in store, and now it isn't a gatway drug. The system MAKES it a gateway drug.
But most people that educate themselves and don't just take the government's word have learned there is a whole world out there the average person is blinded to being able to see. Your synapse has yet to be seperated long enough to experience another side of life you have yet to understand. Take the red pill.. take the blue pill.. its up to you.. sleep or wake up.. what ever.. I don't care...
Actually, I think its chewing gum that is the original gateway drug. In school, kids look around to see if anyone is looking and asks, got any gum, man? GUM is the gateway drug..
