No it doesn’t, I’ve been on the medical marijuana program for almost 6 years and the best part is it’s not addictive like other substances. Just not street marijuana since it can/will be laced with other things such as fentanyl.
There is no credible evidence that marijuana leads to the use of other drugs, and some anecdotal evidence that it can help people with addiction problems. The only connection marijuana has with 'hard' drugs is that they are both illegal, and so a certain percentage of dealers will sell both. People trying to buy marijuana might be exposed to harder substances that way, or (if they are incautious) might find dealers who lace cannabis with harder drugs surreptitiously.
About 20%.
Marijuana is not a hard drug and no it will not be difficult to feel the effects.
Marijuana is considered a gateway drug because some people who use it may be more likely to try other, more harmful substances. This can lead to a progression towards using harder drugs.
Drugs that lead to the use of more powerful drugs. They are: Tobacco, Marijuana and Alcohol.
A gateway drug.
Research on the topic of marijuana as a gateway drug is mixed. Some studies suggest that using marijuana may increase the likelihood of trying harder drugs, while others argue that this relationship is not causal. It is important to consider individual factors and circumstances when discussing drug use patterns.
The idea that marijuana is a gateway drug suggests that its use could lead individuals to try harder drugs. This theory is controversial and not universally accepted. Some argue that the association between marijuana use and other drug use is influenced by other factors rather than marijuana itself causing individuals to seek out more dangerous substances.
Because somebody told them so. It's not uncommon for people who smoke marijuana to be exposed to harder drugs due to the fact that drug dealers sometimes sell other drugs as well as marijuana. However, most people say no to the other drugs as the marijuana is better and has no negative effects as opposed to unnatural things that can mess people up.
A gateway drug is a drug that may lead to using other drugs. Some consider marijuana to be a gateway drug. The reason for that is that marijuana might be illegal for the wrong reasons. Then youth may try marijuana, realize it is not harming them, and become curious about the others, figuring adults lied about them too.
Research on the relationship between marijuana use and the gateway drug theory suggests that while some individuals who use marijuana may go on to use harder drugs, the majority do not. The theory is debated among experts, with some supporting the idea that marijuana can lead to the use of other drugs, while others argue that other factors play a more significant role in drug use progression.
There is ongoing debate among scientists about whether marijuana use directly leads to the use of harder drugs. Some studies suggest a correlation between early marijuana use and later substance abuse, but it is not definitive evidence of a causal relationship. More research is needed to fully understand the potential gateway effect of marijuana.
