If you WANT to use hard drugs, that is not because you USE marijuana or alcohol. Marilyn Manson use LSD and has NEVER smoked marijuana. Considering marijuana as a gateway is a sohism, because drug´s user are usually also marijuana and alcohol´s users. Moreover, every drug´s users consumme air to breath. That doesn´t make air a gateway toward hard drugs. the prohibition of drugs is worst than drugs. Marijuana is not a gateway.

Drug use ends (and ruins) more lives than the statistics can begin to show! Please take a serious look at the failure of the permissive European nations. I think of myself as a libertarian but concede to what I see as reality. I will remain a (basically) Republican/Conservative voter. Like you I cannot abide the Democratic 'baggage'.
