GATEWAY TO THE BLACK MARKET

RE: EDITORIAL, 'No to pot ticketing.' Assuming pot is a gateway drug
is absolutely ignorant. There are so many ways to look up facts in
this day and age and you spout off that marijuana is a gateway drug
with not one credible study to back it up.

There are none - for your information. There are some statistics that
say something like 80% of hard drug addicts started off smoking
marijuana but what you don't know is that 80% of pot smokers stop at
pot and they don't even try hard drugs. All pot seems to be a gateway
to is the black market.
