There you have it. Marijuana _is_ a gateway drug.

Only in the sense that when people discovered that they have been lied
to for decades about cannabis and then wonder if they've been lied to
about the rest.

Pharmaceutical companies want to suppress competition.
All drugs are harmful, including marijuana.
Marijuana really does interfere with the ability to think.
I've done A-B testing on myself. That shit is horrible.
Feels good, but what is that?

So now decriminalize marijuana and heroin and then
you have another dependent, malleable population.
I vote against it.

Marijuana is less harmful than casinos IMO (I've never smoked it but most of the people I know have or still do).

Does alcohol interfere with the ability to think?

Do you consume alcohol?

Cheers.

Cannabis has many medical and industrial uses as a source of natural
chemical substances.

I already know the answer to both. You don't want to be explicit because it exposes your hypocrisy. So you go "cute".

Cute.

Cheers.

Tell us the results of your research.
What are the effects of both?

See? You will not report.

They both interfere with your ability to think.

Hth. Hand.

Cheers.

You're the child who takes a sip from papa's glass, sputters and spits, and swears you'll never go near the stuff again.

Only worse because you then spend your life in pro-prohibition mode, lecturing everyone else who enjoys the occasional glass - all based on your vast experience. Your research. That one time.

Mix in your authoritarian know-it-all-ness and true believer rigidity, and, well, let's just all be grateful you're not making decisions of consequence.

Cheers.

Marijuana and alcohol are very different in their affects.
