of people who first puffed weed before age 15, 62% went on to use cocaine and 9% to use heroin. But of those who started smoking pot after age of 20, only 16% moved onto cocaine and 1% to heroin. I wonder what those numbers would be if "nicotine cigarettes" were substituted for "weed".

I believe similar results can be obtained by conditioning rats to push a lever for ANY positive stimulus reward.
Why don't they do simple (and cheap) statistical research on what percentage of one-time pot users become serious consumers of heroin? Is it because 'scientific' research which results in no anti-drug message also results in no more research grants? Or am I just naive?
