Ummmmm. 2 cents.
Pot is way more readily available than crack, it is cheaper than crack, and it's not as big of a deal as crack...that's why people try pot first. I don't see weed as a gateway drug cause it really isn't. Marijuana is a lot more casual as well. You can smoke a blunt with some friends, but I haven't ever heard of someone smoking up their buddies with a 20 rock.
Also...beer is a wayyyyyy bigger gateway drug. I know plenty of people who just smoke weed...but I know a ton of people who got drunk at a party and did a free line and became a coke dealer's bitch for 2 years of their lives until they went to rehab. These aren't your hood rat kids either, i'm talking about a kid who worked at Hollister and was on the football team for his school, a girl who's going to cosmotology, people you see every day.
Cigarettes are also the root of all evil.
