Marijuana is NOT a Gateway Drug!

[Skip]

This article based on a University of Pittsburgh 12 year behavioral study of young people discovered that indeed, marijuana is not a gateway drug! It's certainly not anymore of a gateway drug than alcohol or tobacco. In fact the article concludes that other factors are far more important (parenting and environment) in determining whether a young person will end up using illegal drugs.

The study suggests that intervention strategies should not focus on the drug being used, but on the education of parents and mitigation of environmental issues (like illegal drugs being sold to kids in the neighborhood).

This is the kind of news the public needs to hear. I believe we need a MASSIVE education and de-programing from all the pot propaganda to go along with legalization. I wish everyone in America could see this, along with the documentary in my sig, The Union.
