I highly doubt that particular claimed statistic. (Every reputable big survey on the subject that I'm aware of shows that ALCOHOL and TOBACCO are - by far - the leading 'gateway' drugs.)

chuckle .. OK. I'll go back to here .. "One thing it does is make one respond 10 seconds slower when someone else yells "Hey, Stupid"" And it takes a little more to get us miffed enough to answer. Some folks think an increase in the ability to control your temper a good thing. Some think that's a bad thing .. There's just so much to worry over. And there ain't enough hours to swat all the circle flies. Let me back up just a little for you. Let's assume that marijuana does something to a brain. Some change that makes it so a person acts different towards heroin. More than 80% of the time, the marijuana consumer stops using marijuana after a while. Having never tried anything else. So 80% of the time, marijuana causes people to avoid using heroin. See how you use numbers when you try .. I like those numbers .. You know that kid down the street you worry about? Maybe you should pass him the bong.
