Admit it! BECAUSE ... for most of us we an PROVE it was NOT in fact a Gateway drug. To what ? Marriage and kids and a steady job? We can admit we never saw dragons or flying dogs or ran though a field butt naked. Many people smoke Cannabis. They know the truth, they know life goes on and you can be successful. Ask President Obama. The one who did inhale. Ask millions of daily tokers that go to work and function! Not just function but prosper. Ask Tommy Chong! He did not get there because he was a 'stoner' he got here because he was a hard working creative man. For many people it is NOT about getting High. It is about medicating - and yes for some relaxing (unwind). It is illegal because of $.
If everyone that uses it just admitted it the battle would be over.
Educate yourself but remember ...
