If we lived in an alternate universe where the Rush Limbaughs smoked cannabis and young hippies smoked cigars, then cannabis would be legal and cigars would be called a gateway drug.

1. I love how "cannabis is a gateway drug" to harder drugs ...
when you probably would find that most marijuana/cannabis smokers didn't go from nothing to c/m ... I would bet that a huge majority of them started with cigarettes ...

2. Well, actually
I smoke cannabis from time to time, but have never smoked tobacco, except for the very occasional making of a spliff.

6. I would suspect that you are one of the exceptions, not the rule ...

7. Definitely.
If I'm going to smoke something, it better be worth it. Weed can be, but cigarettes just aren't.

4. Yes, and cigarette smokers started with coffee and coffee drinkers started with soda
and soda drinkers started with juice, juice drinkers started with breast milk. OMG!

BAN BREAST MILK

IT IS A GATEWAY DRUG!

5. Not all babies are breastfed. The REAL gateway is pb&j sandwiches.

I mean, THINK about it! What do probably 95% of hardcore heroin and meth users have in common?

Yup.

3. You might want to try writing a catchphrase when you're not high.
It's a thought. YMMV.
