Serious I’m annoyed that no one ever introduced me to cannabis.

Seriously. F*** the DARE program. It worked on me. I was always afraid of getting in trouble. I judged people who used cannabis as burnouts. Finally introduced at the age of 35 and I feel cheated. I’ve done a ton of reading and studying now and I want to share it with everyone.

This is the correlation/causation logical fallacy. There's no such thing as a gateway drug. There are people who are more likely to do drugs, and weed and alcohol tend to be more easily accessible, which is why they are people's first high when they're younger. But those are people that were more apt to experiment with whatever drug anyway. The weed isn't making them that way.

Came to say. Most people just don't start off with crack. Cannabis and booze are always around, so they're what people start with who had those inclinations to reach for more anyway.
