It is a big step from beer to cocain. But if you use Cannabis, you may think that that step is far less a big step. The effects of tobacco, and alcohol do not compare to that of cocain, heroin, or LSD. Nowever, that selling these is wanted business by the state is pervers, I agree. But in the mane, the argument of cannabis as an entrance-drug is about psychology, not about biochemistry of the consumer.

Your quite right.
I dont smoke cannibis i eat it,
I add it to my cooking, when i cook a stew i'll add abit to the pot, or baking a cake, banana cake with a bit of cannibis goes well. Never smoked it. Yet im not some big hippy drug induce junkie. I have never tried heroin cocaine or LSD, i dont walk around stoned out of my head im just me, can still have a conversation can still drive a car, still work, go out, meet ppl etc., nothings abnormal. My age group (42 years old here) we are all users, we all got families, we are not ex crims, or deal in the drug. I have stuck to cannibis all my life since my early 20's and never had the urge to try something harder. plus i dont use it everyday i can go without it for months and not crave for it, its more like a very old red wine something to have on a special occasion.
Yet today i hear about young ppl abusing drugs like its something they can try and forget. What they dont know is they are dealing with a double edge sword here. To many young ppl today try cannibis but then move onto the harder stuff. This is not the way to treat cannibis, (or more importantly themselves!) its a herb that needs to be respected not abused. Next thing you know these ppl have given up dope and moved onto this crap drug going around called P, i think Crack is the word for it in the USA. People from all professions smoke/eat which ever way suits them use this drug, (cannibis) lawyers,judges, cops, teachers, parents, social workers, some of the ppl i know that use it have professions where if found out would hit the front page of the local paper! I also see its now considered old fashion to use cannibis, (which in a way is a good thing) my sons dont use cannibis, they like there beer with there mates but are not users, its like only old ppl take that
lol. So much fear has been about this that it has a bad label to it, everyone sits in the safety of there homes hoping they are not going to get busted. Its should be legalise to allow a user to have not more than 3 plants per household - if they have more than 3 then they are considered dealers and face the law. NZ is not too far away from making this a reality.... or maybe thats just wishful thinking :p
