[Yo-Yo]

Just as cannabis is a gateway drug, legalizing cannabis is gateway legislation to legalizing all recreational drugs.

It has always been my contention that marijuana was a gateway drug only because of the criminal element you had to deal with to purchase it would offer you other drugs.

Legalizing medical and recreational pot dispensaries means that pot users don't have to find the corner dealer anymore, and aren't exposed to crack, meth, or fentanyl.

That's not to say that I believe that marijuana use is harmless. I think that the "stoner" stereotype is that way because there is some truth behind the stereotype.

So what has CA shown us. There is so much regulation and taxes it is still easier to go down to the corner dealer.

Not working in practice.
