FH07,

No, I don't agree either. Tobacco and alcohol are the typical gateway drugs for the vast majority of people.

If you just graduated from high school, you haven't been around for very long. Some of us are 3 times your age, plus or minus, and have seen - and used and abused - a thing or two.

What do you mean by "losing your best friend to weed?" Do you mean that he or she is using it or actually died from it? BTW, last I read on the subject, no one has ever been documented as dying from smoking pot. Not many other drugs you can say that about, including the legal ones.

As you mature and gain a little life experience, and if you do a little research, you'll discover as most of us have that the gov't. screwed up royally by getting its panties all in a wad over pot and catagorizing it in the same class as heroin, which is beyond flat out stupid. But then that's gov't. for ya'.

Please do yourself a favor and research this topic before you jump into a discussion like this again. You'll have a much better time when you're well informed.

Sincerely,

Salmo g.
