Correlation does not equal causation. Your argument is analogous to stating that everyone who has imbibed alcoholic drinks drank water at some point in their life, therefore drinking water is a gateway to alcohol use.

I used to work service and had to move peoples furniture to get to parts of the structure in homes to repair. I can not even begin to count how many DRs and Lawyers ect that had bags of pot in and around the home. The same idiots who say pot will lead to drug addiction will go home and sip on a single malt and get their buzz and not see how hypocritical they are.

And coffee too. Caffeine is a stimulant drug. How many people started with that before graduating to cigarettes, alcohol, and the forever evil marijuana. All can be considered "gateway drugs" so lets ban them all.

Again, people just discount the legal drugs, so their starting point is going to be traced to the first illegal one on the list.
