Whoa whoa whoa...ok where was I

Is weed a gateway drug? yes, it most deffinatly is. And thats still my biggest problem with it. Does EVERYONE fall right into heroin, coke, or something else? No, but the statistics say they do.

I would say that most people that want to do pot do it for two reasons
1) friends do it
2) rebel
Either way, people tend to go down "that" path. Some stop and have some sense. Some people go down it a little, trying something a bit more
Then some other people...well...they keep going, trying to find the next great thing.
That could be said with any drug. And yes, alcohol is a drug. Its addicting in the feeling you get, the way you are, the fun you have.
More you drink, the larger part it plays in your life.

Americans have no self-control for the most part. Thats a whole argument to itself, but taking just a small part out of it, when we see something we like, we want more.
Better, faster, stronger, quicker, harder, and we keep pushing.

Its hard line to walk...do you do it for financial reasons only because right now we are in a bit of downturn? What happens when we pull out of this? See, like Americans, we can only see whats right infront of our faces. Every single aspect of our culture is about what will happen in the next 10 mins.

Could it be a part of our national economy? Could it be something that is sustainable? What will happen when we undemonize it like we did alcohol or smoking? What happens when the pot manufacturing companies aim at kids? What about other health risks? What happens when the companies start to increase profits by adding tar and other dangerious additives some time down the road?
How will this effect our country as a whole? Will we slide deeper into a moral hole? Or will it be no different then now since pot is for the most part widly accepted as an ok illegal drug?

There are a lot of questions that have to have been answerd before you can go ahead and give it the green light.

I agree that it should be legalized, but there are so many questions and problems, some that have yet to even be raised, about this.
