THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN USE AND ABUSE

What is this so-called "gateway" drug label that is always pinned on
marijuana? Let's be clear. Alberta Solicitor General Heather Forsyth
doesn't know much about marijuana. Many people recreationally smoke weed
and never try anything more "harsh." She made a very uneducated, uncalled
for stereotype against pot smokers as future heroin addicts and crack
fiends. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN USE AND ABUSE, AND THAT APPLIES TO
ANY DRUG, including caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco. We might as well call
caffeine the "gateway" drug!
