"Marijuana could be a gateway drug, I think that's everyone's main concern"

People don't do weed, then think "Gee whizz, i could really do with some smack right around now."
The 'gateway' argument is only valid due to who you hang around with. If you're smoking weed, chances are you're hanging around with people, or know people, who do other drugs, so the opportunity is there.
I don't particularly like weed. The amount of stoners i know who throw the 'I AIN'T NO DAMN ADDICT' card, whilst rolling their 3rd joint in the space of 4 hours is ludicrous. Obviously, maybe they're one offs and so my stance against weed is invalid...but still, it's coloured my opinion.
In England we've had some independant research done on drugs, but in both cases were the guys doing the investigating have come back with a 'Yeah, they're not that bad', the Government shook their mighty heads and brushed them aside. Sacking one, whilst the others resigned.
I do think the whole thing needs to be looked at. Taxing drugs would help with the economy, but also probably create a two tier system.
Meh.
I blame ugly people.
Kill 'em all.
