Most started with nicotine. I was trying to make the point that the fault lies not with marijuana but with the individual. Some are more likely to experiment, some are more suggestive to peer pressure, some are more genetically inclined towards addiction. Marijuana is no more to blame than alcohol or nicotine. And most pot smokers are not addicts.
Yes, drug abuse is tragic and that's true whether that drug is alcohol, prescription drugs or illegal drugs.
