An energy drink as a 'gateway drug?"

I've seen it claimed. There was an article in the local paper a few years ago, where some idiot claimed that tobacco, alcohol, and caffeine, were "gateway drugs," but marijuana wasn't.

CASA, that wonderful organization that Prohibitionists love to quote, says the same thing.

The same sort of statistics that support marijuana being a "gateway drug" also support the same designation for alcohol and tobacco. (Don't know how anyone would arrive at exactly the conclusion you cite, though.)
