All drugs are fucking "Gateway" drugs

This term is so stupid. The fuck is a gateway drug anyway? Any drug is a gateway drug if you do it before you start using other drugs. Unisom was my gateway drug. I always adament not to try harder drugs until I start using unisom, then it spiralled into a full-on opiate addiction.

    No. All drugs are gateway drugs... to better drugs of the same kind. Weed, opiates, psychs, whatever. However, the bullshit fags like DARE pull to demonize relatively harmless drugs like weed and alcohol (and things like LSD and MDMA to an extent) is just plain stupid.

    They always preach their "looking for something stronger" crap. Maybe it's just something "different" instead. Idiots.

    Besides completely ignoring my DARE officer (In 5th grade, we all had to take a mandatory DARE class) thanks to totse, I got her to let me use her drunk goggles for most of the day once. Highly recommended.

    I think a lot of the "reason" weed is a "gateway drug" is because it's illegal and you have to go to a drug dealer to get it :(

    The only reason that the gateway theory exists in the first place is because of prohibition.

    The people who start with weed and then move onto other drugs either do it out of their own curiosity, or because of the inherent connection and association between illegal drugs. If you know a guy who illegally sells pot, chances are he could introduce you to a dealer of another substance, or even get you another substance should you ask.

    If you go to a dispensary, though, chances are nobody there will know where to get other drugs and you won't meet any dealers willing to hook you up with other shit simply because they're not associated with the illegal market.

    I remember reading a much more properly worded version of what I just typed, but I can't seem to find it.

    EDIT:
    Particularly for cannabis, which is illegal, exposure to the black market (where harder drugs are available) is suggested to be the real cause.

    Yeah.

    And Paracetamol, Asprin etc. are gateway drugs?

    ^^ Sure they are.

    Using tylenol displays a willingness to ingest a substance to feel different- the entire idea behind using drugs. My mom doesn't even take tylenol or aspirin or any other painkiller of any type, and lots of other people are similar.

    If one comes to the realization of what they are really doing when they are taking tylenol or aspirin- that being ingesting a chemical to change how you feel, it's reasonable to think they may become open to the idea of using a wider variety of drugs. In this case, a headache could be compared to depression. The depression pills the doctor gives you may not work, so you turn to other drugs thinking they will be like tylenol and just cure your depression like a tylenol cures a headache. This is an even worse scenario then the whole "weed gateway drug" bullshit because now you're getting into a dangerous territory of thinking drugs work in a way contrary to how they actually do.

    The fact ailment specific drugs are so prevalent is disturbing because of the uneducated and ignorant. Drugs aren't here to fix certain issues, that's not actually how drugs function. Tylenol doesn't get rid of your headache because you have a headache, it fixes it because the action of the drug just happens to work in a way that will relieve it. People have an entirely contrary view of how drugs actually work, and this itself can serve as a gateway under the right circumstances.

    Drugs are drugs. Children are taught at an early age that taking cough syrup and tylenol to feel different then you do at that moment is okay. This is completely hypocritical to the notion of "ALL DRUGS ARE BAD ALL THE TIME." Even worse is how the medical industry spoon feeds people drugs on a daily basis while at the same time saying drugs are bad and ruin lives, except the ones WE give you.

    It's fucking retarded and how anyone of any type of intelligence can accept it is beyond me.

    I never quite looked at it like that before. When I think about it I was probably turned onto drugs after taking flu medication at a young age and feeling "tingly" because of the codiene. In a larger sense it seems difficult to properly define "drugs" at all. If you feel bored and turn on the TV for a few hours how is that much different from getting a headache and popping an asprin, or insomnia with a benzo. At least recreational drug users are honest about their motivations.

    My gateway drug was prescription speed. Although my parents forced me to take it they still had the balls to rag on me about doin' drugs after shoving those down my throat when I was 13-15. :mad:.

    lol thats kinda similar to mine

    weed
    >adderall/ritalin
    >meth
    >huge wierd personality shift--->b tar heroin---->some more meth and sinus damage(FUCK hotrails and snorting in general)-->benzos/synthetic opiates and those are my vice now.


    but yeah its all about what drugs you want to do. i always loved how amphetamines made me want to do stuff and have fun with boring tasks, pretty soon i was snorting 120mgs of adderall and not getting a buzz, just insomnia. Meth will always get you fucking high but its not worth it...but i want to feel that high again so bad.

    but ur guna run into people with harder drugs if you smoke weed, theres no question about that. If you have a desire to do drugs for whatever reason then they will find you.

    ^and i got a friend with a super-fucked up narcissist personality and thats because he was on a shitload of perscription speed from age 7-14. it fucked him up pretty bad but hes stilll cool to hang out with. and he always acted like a total drug addict with drugs. like we would buy xanax bars and he would snort all 3 bars in 1 night, or he would binge on meth until hes out of money and stuff to cluck

    A gateway drug...what a load of bollocks.

    Anything that is tangible has the ability to be a gateway to something positive or negative that can effect your life.

    For me, my gateway 'drug' was knowledge. I remember my brothers had a real copy of the anarchist cookbook at one point and that really opened up my mind about crime and drugs. It was that One experience that led me to actually trying alcohol which Then led me to trying marijuana.

    A drug is not a gateway drug for me. Knowledge is.

    This I did not know, but it would make sense.

    I think that people are the gateways to other drugs. My main dood ONLY smokes (doesn't even drink worth mentioning), but some of my other friends have a pharmacy on hand any time I see them. Diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks.

    I feel like disinformation is the real gateway drug. From the time you are a small child you are told lies and propanganda about drugs and then when you finally try them you wonder what else they have been lying about.
