Wow. We smoke the stuff more than any other industrialized country, and we even have one of the highest cocaine usage rates in the world at 2.3% of the population!

Now I've got the munchies.

Interesting read. I would have estimated the percentages would be higher than that.

At least this article shows we are usng the least harmless drug more and the harsh ones less. Just mellow us out and we won't try the hard stuff...

For the other top three drugs — heroin, amphetamines and ecstasy — Canada was near or under the international average for usage.
So is that enough prove that pot is not a gateway drug?

Has anything DARE has ever said been honest and forthright?

DARE is the biggest joke.

BTW it was recently found that 89% of heroin users have used milk prior to using heroin.

Milk, the gateway drug. Also keeps your bones strong.

Pot? Gateway drug? If I were to put anything into the gateway category, I would say alcohol as it's pretty much everyones first experience with mind altering agents.
