REAL GATEWAY DRUGS ARE LEGAL

Some argue that marijuana is a gateway drug. This is both a fallacy
and a myth. In fact, nicotine is the biggest gateway drug followed by
alcohol, which are both taxed by the government. You would be hard
pressed to find a junkie who did not smoke cigarettes or drink
alcohol. Those are far more toxic and addictive than marijuana. It's
time for a more progressive approach to drug policy as the current
one is anachronistic and pernicious.

(There are many things wrong with drug policy, but legalization of
marijuana seems a long way away.)
