Real title: "Overdose of medical cannabis caramel" - The cameraman says, "I told you to eat half," so where's the 'trick'?

Where Dope Smoking Leads

The gateway claim is pseudoscience - research shows that the correlation between earlier marijuana use and later use of other drugs can be explained by a "common-factor" model, that is, a third factor that causes both results, such as individuals' opportunities and unique propensities to use drugs, or mor broadly a social or psychological predisposition towards anti-social behaviour. (http://www.rand.org/pubs/research_briefs/RB6010/index1.html, http://webarchive.nationalarchives.gov.uk/20110314171826/http://rds.homeoffice.gov.uk/rds/pdfs2/hors253.pdf)

Also note that the same sort of correlation between earlier marijuana and later harder drugs also exists between earlier alcohol and tobacco and later illegal drugs - so if marijuana is a "gateway" so are alcohol and tobacco.

You'd prefer higher health care costs? "A hepatitis C infection can cost [the health care system] anywhere from $200,000 to $1.4 million; that’s a lot of money a 25-cent crack pipe can mitigate" - http://www.foxnews.com/health/2014/02/10/new-crack-pipe-vending-machines-in-vancouver-aim-to-curb-spread-disease/

No tourism here - this was about medical marijuana. (http://www.upi.com/Top_News/US/2010/10/05/Marijuana-user-lights-up-in-parliament/37581286283358/)

Marijuana Induced Psychosis

Whole lotta nothin' here ... the guy using that term comments, "Whether that is an accurate description is another story. [...] I had things I needed to deal with and Marijuana found those things inside of me and presented them in a way that forced me to deal with them. Is that bad? I don't think so."

For decades kids have been reporting that they can get pot more easily than cigarettes or beer, because sellers of illegal products never card for age whereas sellers of legal products usually do (in order to protect their legal access to the adult market).
