How many pop addicts do you know that went right to alcoholism?
Compare that to how many crackheads started off with weed as their first high. I'd say there's no comparison to which is more likely.
Like I said I'm not against legalization but I do feel that pot possibly being a gateway drug needs to be addressed before any decisions are made.

The amount of people that are hard drug users that started with pot should have no more bearing on the legalization than the amount I people dead from smoking has on the legalization of cigarettes. The only correlation between pot and any other type of drug is that they are illegal.
