who would then have to push harder drugs on school children in order to make the same money that they're currently making from the marijuana black market.
What? School children aren't the largest base of recreational drugs. Cartels aren't in the business of dealing on street level, let alone to children.
Thats also not the way drugs work, they aren't substitute goods and marijuana isn't a "gateway drug" as shown by statistics.
- smhinsey 17y agoAs many people have said, marijuana is only a gateway drug in the sense that you have to buy it from a drug dealer.
- coryl 17y agoI've never heard of it in that context. Gateway drug usually refers to drugs in a stepping stone manner. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway_drug_theory http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gateway_drug_theory
- smhinsey 17y agoI'm sure you get the spirit of that statement, but if not, it's not really about the actual idea of some sort of natural progression but rather that because you have to seek out an illegal source for it, you're more likely to come into contact with sources of other illegal drugs, and therefore more likely to try them as well.
