Gateway Theory: “Some people claim that using marijuana will make you want to use other drugs, like heroin, cocaine, LSD, amphetamines, and ecstasy. They argue that marijuana acts as a stepping stone, or a gateway, that leads people to harder drugs. They support their argument with statistics that show that most people who use hard drugs have tried marijuana before.”
My Opinion: I really don’t think marijuana is a gateway drug. It really doesn’t make you make bad decisions. I can honestly say that I’ve made some of my worst decisions while I was drinking. Drinking makes your perception or view on things distorted. Alcohol definitely alters your mind a lot more then marijuana does.
Driving stoned isn’t a good thing to do, but it’s not as bad as driving drunk. Driving drunk can cause harm to you and those around you. I think I drive better when I’m stoned-I’m more aware of what’s going on around me and I’m not in any kind of rush. I’m pretty sure there are more accidents caused by drunk drivers then by drivers who are stoned.
