I believe that sugar and caffeine are the real gateway drugs, they are the 1st chemical compounds many people are addicted to.

The classification of cannabis changed to incarnate more black people. It's a historical fact and it's sad that many people don't know that.
incarnate
Either you mean incarcerate, or else it is one hell of a gateway
Gateway drugs should open more things
Yeah, sorry. I'm tired and English isn't my mother tongue.
I didn't mean anything by it, and assumed it was autocorrect. I was just amused by the visual of it in my head.
I believe originally, it was used to incarcerate Latin Americans, hence the naming of "Marihuana" and later, "Marijuana" to make it sound more Spanish.
It wasn't just race, it was Black People and anyone else that associated with them. If someone went against authority and smoked weed, they were a danger to authority.
It was a litmus test
But pretty fucking close for .ml account
The war on drugs has always been bullshit. I wonder how many bosses have said "drug free workplace" or principals saying "drug free campus" while holding a cup of coffee.
I'm not for prohibition whatsoever, but have you seen the difference between someone who chose coffee as their drug of choice and spend decades drinking it versus smoking meth?
I'm making fun of all the propaganda.
For example:/Someone who is against the justice system as it is isn't advocating for murder to be legal.
Caffeine: am I a joke to you?
Caffine. The kids drug of choice
It goes along with how they categorize cannabis as "drug" while alcohol for some reason gets it's own special category.
Because one is legal and one isn't...
If alcohol or tobacco was illegal, they'd be treated like illegal drugs
Laws aren't always correct.
Do you understand it now?
Been smoking weed for over 50 years and I never found that gate!
That's because you were too stoned to look for it. You set us up man.
I didn’t know I was supposed to be looking for the sumbitch! I usually just climbed over the fence.
As someone that's smoked weed for 20 years, I think it's too potent now and consider the plant to be something that got abused by humans the same way humans abuse everything they touch.
Don't be a stoner.
Use it as medicine.
Stoners are junkies.
After 20 years I'm finally realizing this and using it more as only medicine.
I remember a quote I read a looong time ago... "If your eyes get red you are abusing it." From that point on when your eyes are deeply red, it's not medicine, it's an escape.
Also... The side effects of capitalism are a gateway drug because capitalism give people the want to escape.
