Yes you are better off using alcohol, nicotine, or an opioid or benzo prescribed by your MD....yea right LOL. These constitute the real substance abuse problems in this country. But oh wait, they must be OK for us because we as a society approve their usage...NOT.
Even if it is true that 20% of pot users move on to different drugs, one can not establish that they move on because of using pot, i.e. a cause/effect relationship can not be concluded, only a possible relationship. More than likely they moved on to harder substances for a similar reason they began using pot.

The usage of pots has a number of effects on the body and if it is believed it is the source of your good feeling you are just being a sucker to the drug as it is having a host of impacts on your body and brain. Because you "feel good" is a temporary relief as it has you and fools you. Who is the SAP. The person who recognizes the need to keep the body and mind clean or the one who runs the body and mind to the ground for a "quick good feeling".  |
