Am I the only one that finds this headline, which I suppose is supposed to be "quippy" repugnant?

I smoke weed and I would never put that poison in my body. Even more of a ridulous story is Weight Watchers is going to pay Jessica Simmons millions to lose baby weight. WTF? that is why I don't turn on the TV much, we are too dumbed down. Thank You.
Yup!

Isn't this access hollywood territory?
spend the time i have dealing with the wreckage of this drug scrourge like i have and see if you're still laffing.
does everyone who smokes pot smoke meth? No.
has nearly everyone who smokes meth started on booze or weed. absofuckinlutely.
It reminds me of something I read years ago that said the first "drug" heroin addicts try is huffing gasoline. I guess that means no more SUVs for you.
Some people just have addictive personalities. It's sad, but it's true.
I've known a few heroin addicts in my day, I'm sad to say, and quite a few of them were also very into meth, and uppers in general. None of them, I repeat, none of them were into weed or booze.
I knew a stripper who got into meth, and she'd have a beer now and again, but that's about it.
Meth, weed, and alcohol are all very different drugs. Meth is an upper, weed is a psychedelic, and alcohol is a downer. You could make a better case that coffee leads to meth use than weed or alcohol.
my observations are based upon hundreds of cases, not a handful
but this pot debate is not even tertiary to my main point. I tossed that in to get a rise out of you dopers. lol
I'm sure you would agree that the headline made light of a human tragedy..

Meth is the nastiest drug I ever saw. The only reason it exists is because it was diffulcult to get crack cocaine out in the sticks.
Where did the crack come from needle?
"You're always going to be having drug traffickers, gun runners, people who are alien smugglers ... as some of the kinds of people that you're going to be relying on to carry out a covert war," Winer observes. "And that's true of any government anywhere--whether you're talking Afghanistan, Colombia, Southeast Asia, Burma. Your operatives tend to be people who are involved in other illicit activities. These things tend to go together."

Go read the RAND article on thier critic of pot being a "gateway" drug, and you'll see the critique applies to your argument of a gateway drug. People start out on what is readily available. RAND found that pot could be seen as a gateway drug (but they are clear it is not) simply because alcohol and cigarretes are well regulated and difficult for minors to get, while pot is the easiest to find in our blackmarket environment, so it is possible to say their first intoxicant was pot, but that was only because that was what was available to them. They were explicitly against te idea that smoking pot leads one to harder drugs. The bottom line is that if we properly regulated weed, it, too would be hard for teens to get.
