Gateway drugs are a myth. It was created as propaganda during the beginning of the war on drugs as a way to justifi anti-marijuana campaigns
We know now the real reason was as a way to discredit the hippies protesting the Vietnam war. We no longer need to do that, so let's let the gateway drug myth die off
Im aware of the origins thats why i wrote "the real gateway drugs" implying that gateway drugs arent real. My bad, but ive genuinely seen so many good people get addicted to these "benign" substances and its absolutely depressing and difficult to not see a pattern of which substances are pushing my friends and family to chase more and more intense highs. Ive heard kratom is starting to make its way to teens aswell if you see a product called feel free at your local conv store, its kratom. And im seeing similar issues with that as i did with the prevelence of galaxy gas.
