Lightbulb How Many

How many actually know the statistics of users moving from pot to harder drugs? How many have actually treated Drug and Alcholol abusers and understand the sequence of moving from light drugs (pot) to hard drugs. How many actually know the statistics of person(s) under 18 moving on and the long term effects on their brain and reproduction(s)? How many have actually worked in a "Rehab" and understand the history of drug users (e.g. pot)? How many have actually studied the differences between Alcholol and Pot and the different impacts on the body, brain, etc.?
Moving on..Net: Statiscially between 15 and 20% of pot users move on to the harder drugs, although all drugs are actually "hard". The cost of all of this on society is tremendous. Who do you think is paying for the "Rehabs"? The good news is that it creates employment for the thousands of Drug Psychologists and Counselors. The good news is that as it is made "legal" there will be more opportunities for these Psychologists, et al.
