First off I disagree with anyone who states that marijuana is addicting. I am a frequent marijuana smoker and have been for some time. I show no signs of being addicted to marijuana. When a person is arrested for possession and is forced to get drug tested they must immediately stop smoking in order to pass. I have not heard of anyone who has failed to be able to do this no matter how often they smoke. That alone should show that everyone who believes marijuana is addicting is indeed.......... A FUCKING IDIOT. Next i would like to state that i agree marijuana is not a gateway drug. I agree 100% with the segment of the article which says, "the likelihood that someone will transition to the use of illegal drugs is determined not by the preceding use of a particular drug but instead by the user’s individual tendencies and environmental circumstances." I have no desire to go into harder drugs then marijuana. Throughout the years of smoking, i have started to despise harder drugs. Alcohol even seems much less appealing and i no longer enjoy it. In conclusion i find it funny that all the accusation that marijuana is a gateway drug, is addicting, is cancerous, etc. are all being proved wrong, and soon people will discover all the bullshit about marijuana that our government has been hypnotizing us with.
