for years, people have been saying the gateway drug
from mine and other people's experiences with drugs, i would really have to say that, in my opinion, ALCOHOL is the gateway drug
how many of you first tried a drug other than alcohol when you were drunk? or because you liked the feeling of being drunk and wanted to explore drugs? how many of you tried alcohol before any other drug?
would like your thoughts on this....

However with weed being illegal it did bring me into contact with people who were selling other drugs. I didn't do weed and think I must try something else - it just made the other drugs more accessible.
personally i dont think its a gateway drug
alcohol .. sorta, but not in the same sense that they make out that weeds a gateway drug. id get drunk and go fuck it get the e's out etc, but im not sure if i'd think like that if id never tried drugs previously
who knowS!
I think people who try ecstacy are fairly likely to try coke or ketamine if offered
so i don;t really think there is a gateway drug, just other drugs become more accesable to those that do weed etc
I'm sure not everyone that took more different drugs started with pot. I'm also sure not all started with alcohol so for eveyone the gateway drug is different?
Or is it just the party scene, "peer pressure" (yeah right)
I have heard argued that spinning around really fast as a child is the ultimate 'gateway drug' its the first experience you get of a change in perception, everything after that builds on that experience.
