My point was the whole notion of "gateway drug" is flawed. You can't point at the easiest, most accessible drug and blame it for people moving on to harder stuff. The people who are prone to moving to substances like Crack and Heroin are going to do it anyways.
I could maybe see a connection between other "soft" drugs like MDMA and Shrooms, but there is a massive, massive gap between those and things like crack, meth and heroin. I bet the majority of people on here have done, would be willing to try or know people who have done ecstasy or shrooms but I bet very few know anyone who has jumped to the harder stuff. It takes a special type of person to ignore the very well known stigma with those.
Honestly I think connecting those would be like claiming that anyone who has killed insects is bound to become a serial killer.
