I had a good foster dad who enlightened me and was a godsend in my life. He clarified what I saw on some ships. Some mariners, not all, booze it up, smoke pot and also hit the heroin. It was well known on a ship of 35 persons, for maybe a year, who does what and when. Drugs were totally forbidden in any form, if the Captain or any Officer found it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, THAT PERSON IS PUT OFF AT THE NEXT PORT,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, NO EXCEPTIONS and their US papers are taken and they will never go on a US ship again.
I wanted to make money, save money, go to college, and so I stayed clear but I saw it all. Is WEED a gateway drug? YES, I saw it over and over, first the weed, then the heroin and also the opium in Asian Ports. I saw it ruin the lives of some nice and smart guys. If I was around users, I have had several tell me : DO NOT START, DO NOT TRY IT, EVER!!!! I can look at it in a different light than other folks. I fortunately went to college, got a good education and did well.
First of all, anyone who is not smart enough (after months of being here) to properly quote another poster...should have everything they say questioned.

Secondly, your anecdotal experience...does not automatically constitute reality.

There are MILLIONS of pot smokers who only do pot...and don't even drink.

However, since alcohol is the most widely ABUSED DRUG there is...why don't you consider it a "gateway drug" also?

And just in case you even want to try and argue on whether alcohol is a drug...let me disabuse you of that notion immediately.

What Is Alcohol? Is Alcohol a Drug? Alcohol Content - Drug-Free World

WHAT IS ALCOHOL?

Alcohol is a drug.

It is classed as a depressant, meaning that it slows down vital functions—resulting in slurred speech, unsteady movement, disturbed perceptions and an inability to react quickly.

ALL drug sellers and/or users?

Which remember...INCLUDES alcohol.

There go a lot of your friends (if you even have any) and neighbors.

You are one sick, ignorant person.
