So them having to go underground with the local drug dealers to get a little pot and then having those dealers give them "samples" of their meth might not have something to do with it?

Anyway, I'll bet their substance experience actually started with some of that ol' Tennessee Jack Daniels Whisky. It's demon alcohol that's the real "gateway" drug:

They also started with Gerber's or mama's milk. Few people who smoke weed regularly are tweakers. the domino theory wears no clothes.

Tweakers, btw, can go about their lives hiding their addiction pretty well. Seen 'em in management positions...at least, until they proved to be unreliable, among other things.

Yep usually about 12 years old and they were then told that Mary Juana is not addictive or anything so just enjoy the feeling. They did and then wanted to feel even better, plus of course they believed that such drugs as Marijuana really are no big deal so it is OK to experiment. Ah well, stupid is as stupid does, and taking "recreational drugs" is ... stupid.

Yep, when someone needs an artificial feel good material they already have serious problems. Alcohol is step 1, then usually marijuana, then it just gets worse. If someone enjoys it, they have a major problem to begin with. Starting with; never having reached adulthood psychologically.
