NOPE they didnt. Alcohol SHOULD be banned, so SHOULD cigarettes. Alcohol alone is one of the NUMBER ONE Reasons for 15-24 yr old deaths in this country. Drinking and driving! They will never include alcohol in studies because its a HUGE industry. They make BILLIONS ON IT. Even politicians make money from it.

A drug is a drug is a drug. They are illegal for a reason. If pot were safe and non-addictive (and didn't cause people to do stupid, illegal things while they're on it) then it wouldn't be illegal and everyone would have a plant in their backyard. Every illegal substance comes from a plant. Alcohol is the last legal drug in the world. Imagine if they tried to make THAT illegal again (like they did during prohibition). Even my grandparents made home beer and "bathtub" gin. It is a gateway drug because it is legal. I am a firm believer that alcoholics are born--not made--and those are the people that alcohol is most dangerous for and pushes them forward towards other drugs.

it will be a gateway drug. that doesn't recommend that is a gateway drug for all sorts of people. that is the area that maximum stoners REFUSE to appreciate--that that is a gateway drug for a *particular variety of human being.* It has a tendency to be a gateway drug if you've a heritage of dependancy and/or have kinfolk who were alcoholics, etc (there are factors of dependancy that are genetic). it really is the objective crew of those study. no human being is purely looking a bunch of stoners at a school campus and being like "Uh oh, he's smoking, GATEWAY DRUG!" no human being is doing this. a good number of addicts commence out smoking pot, and for a number of them, marijuana replaced right into a gateway drug. yet that doesn't recommend it immediately away makes you want to do different issues.

Alcohol isn't really a gateway drug. Marijuana is considered a gateway drug, however it isn't physically addictive, only potentially mentally addictive. Few people become psychologically addicted to pot. Alcohol and marijuana are two different types of drugs so it's hard to say which one is worse.

I totall agree with you 100% your absolutley right! i don't know much about the studies but i think they will not legalize pot cause of the fact it can't be taxed? Alchol is far worse than pot in my opinion.
