Caffeine Is The Real Gateway Drug Posts in Questions

is "Caffeine" the "Real" "Gateway" "Drug"? think about it. Did you watch your parents in the morning, while you got ready for school and they got ready for work? What did that tell you about?

Lana T. replied: "It is for ME, in the morning."

Megan replied: "Sure, I get up, go straight for the coffee, then smoke a cigarette after I have a cup..wakes ya up."

Do you believe that marijuana is really a gateway drug? Personally I believe that Alcohol, tobacco, caffeine and prescription pills are gateway drugs. I believe that marijuana is not a drug, but rather just a plant that does not need any special processing. Do you think Marijuana is the real gateway drug or is it something else? Actually I went to a highly respected doctor. I did my research, and found a doctor that has a high level of legitimacy. The doctor I chose did not make it easy to obtain my prescription.

sarahmay replied: "I don't think there's any such thing as a gateway drug."

John Holmes replied: "yes"

Croaker replied: "yes and no...it is now because it is illegal. but once legal i think that mystique would go away. the biggest problem with dope is that it is a very good pain killer. better than Advil etc and less damaging to the body...at least that is my experience....drug corporations do not want dope legalized."

Herb replied: "The first high anyone ever gets is spinning around really fast and getting dizzy. Next is trying cigarettes and beer. Most people stop at pot while others go on to coke, heroin and whatever."

panurge2 replied: "Marijuana is a "Gateway Drug to Stronger Oppression of Human Rights" ! My wife is ALIVE today because her medical pot helped her eat, and eased her pain, while on chemo for cancer. So in her case, pot helped her from having to take the opiates and other 'hard drugs' already availible to her."

Lt1 replied: "I do, but........ My belief is based on the culture of marijuana users. "Typically", it's illegal which leads to socializing with other users of illegal drugs, which leads to experimentation with other drugs, and eventual addiction to other drugs. Take away the "sub-culture" of it being "illegal", and I think it would be less of a "gateway" drug. I'm not sure why I am playing "devil's advocate" with you today as for the past two weeks you have been ranting about your "prescription marijuana" when I'm relatively positive you found some quack doctor to give you a script for some "ailment".......... The bottom line is that it's illegal and makes you do and say some dumb crap......"

aka replied: ""I believe that marijuana is not a drug, but rather just a plant that does not need any special processing." Wow. . have you ever researched and studied the plant? Experiments? Ever talked with a pharmacist? And then you need to realize where it comes from: a) home-grown which is almost always laced with others (such as cocaine) and goes immediately to dangerous dealers. b) away-grown which is often funded by terrorists (yep, that's one way they get their money) and goes to dangerous dealers. Either way there's no way around the bad guys, even if it were legalized that would put bad guys out of business and need a new way to get their money (which is more dangerous). Also, these bad guys NEVER just deal marijuana, they always do other drugs. Illegal buying of marijuana is supporting the dealer in buying other drugs. In the medical world of using Cannabis with a prescription, it still does damage but it helps reduce different and more severe damage. So I am completely fine with someone who uses Cannabis with a prescription, but outside of that is illegal, wrong, and dangerous as the dealers continue to grow in size and strength."

Tiedye D replied: "No but Nixon guaranteed that it would never become legal and so far it hasn't."

Scott replied: "yes and whomever uses pot is a loser moron"

Adam replied: "I believe Marijuana is just as much a gateway drug as Alcohol is."

Rock Firestorm replied: "There is no way it is a gateway drug. I am a police officer, and I started off doing Cocaine. I decided to join the police force because it would give me access to free cocaine. I sometimes smoke marijuana when I am too strung out from the cocaine."

Sparky replied: "If it isn't a drug, then why does it do something to you? Any substance that lessens your inhibitions is a gateway substance. So you can include marijuana with alcohol. I wouldn't include nicotine or caffeine since I have no knowledge of their being inhibitors. I do not dispute or oppose medicinal uses for marijuana, either. But for recreational use, I have to oppose it as strongly as possible. The problem with legalization for medicinal uses is that distribution is very hard to control. I oppose recreational use because the psychoactive affects are present for many days after use. Even though people don't realize they are affected, they are and they have accidents because of it. Innocent people suffer as a result. If people would use and then stay home until all traces of marijuana was out of their system, I'd have no argument. But that isn't what happens."

Caleb C replied: "you believe that alcohol tobacco caffeine and prescription pills are gateway drugs. but you do not think marijuana is? ok... ill share on the matter. Marijuana is a drug. it effects the way in which you see, act, drive, talk, and move. it is a narcotic. 90% of the people that say it isnt legal cause of tax reasons. are stoners. shoot 90% of the nazis, thought they were doing the right thing. not a gateway drug in the fact that it makes you a stoned out junkie, its a gateway drug due to the fact, that once you have experienced a high from weed, you are more than ready after a few times, to try something more powerful. ive had people in cuffs, standing outside of military bases, saying ahh man, please, its not mine, the last time i smoked dope, was about 30 days ago. please officer soldier, let me go, please, i wont do it again. i promise. no sir, marijuana has never made me want to smoke a bigger drug. how can you tell a stoner is lying? his lips are moving. thats how. anyone who has smoked pot, has at some point crossed their mind, what is like. thats why marijuana is illeagal. it opens you up for more, makes you braver to try it something else. as far as this whole its a plant that grows in the dirt. ive heard that alot. ive seen first hand, what pot does. if you would like to hear the truth about some stories of wrecks, crimes, etc that have happened cause of pot...ill share some rock firestrom. you are not a police officer, in fact, your prolly a dope head, mad cause you lost your drugs..grow up..."

Shawn replied: "No, I did coke because my friend had it, I did shrooms because my friend had it, i did x because i bought it from a drug dealer who was also my friend, i did lsd because my friends drug dealer had some. The list goes on. Point is, your friends are the gateway to drugs not the drugs themselves. If you hang out with a bunch of people that do drugs then of course you are gonna try what they are. But to say that if you start smoking weed you are going to become a heroin junkie is ridiculous. I don't even think pot should be illegal, there are far worse substances out there to abuse, including the legal ones like alcohol and prescription drugs which kill hundreds of thousands a year from OD, compared to the 0 for pot. If you use it in a vaporizer then there are literally no long term health risks, aside from memory loss, but what stoner cares about that. The only other arguement you have is I guess getting in accidents, which when you consider booze being so high up on that category, why even argue that point. Ever stoner will tell you, you drive slower and more responsibly on pot. There is no arguements left to keep it illegal. Unfortunatly it is kept illegal by the lawmakers being bribed (campaign contributions) continually by prescription companies who will lose out when people realize there are safer cheaper and better alternatives to deadly prescriptions. And terrorists grow heroin, not pot. 40% of the country supports legalization and that number is growing. It's time to make a change."

Top Alpha Wolf replied: "That's funny. I've drank caffeine for years and take diabetic meds and I've never felt the need to do anything else, yet I know many pot users who eventually tried just about every drug that came their way. Go figure. BTW, it doesn't matter what one doctor says. There are lots of doctors who do drugs too. That doesn't make them or their opinions right. Lots of doctors have a God complex anyway, yet we know they aren't actually Gods, so why should people believe a few docs who think drugs are ok? Believe what you want, but pot is a gateway, even if you think it's just a plant. Lots of drugs start out as plants...that doesn't make them safe or good for a person. It would be like purposely eating toadstools. They are just a simple fungus...a lot like mushrooms, yet to eat one means death most of the time. At others it could mean a very long, hard trip that destroys the mind. Why risk it? There is too much in life that is far more enjoyable than getting high and it doesn't cost you your brain cells. Anyway, do as you like. It's your life."

h2o replied: "No, not at all. I think Marijuana is an amazing plant that has great medicinal value, and isn't harmful like most medications people are taking. I bet the drug industry is dreading the day marijuana becomes legal."

aka replied: "No marijuana is not a gateway drug. I have been taking peoples marijuana when I pull them over for years now, and it hasn't led me to using more harmful substances."

Andrew replied: "NO, research shows most drug addicts start with alcohol and tobacco. Anyway with any logics will find the gateway theory to be a very weak argument. This is the argument. "Most hard drug users have used marijuana before. Therefore, marijuana causes you to move on to harder drugs." This is called backwards logic. If your were going to do hard drugs, don't you think you would also use marijuana? And i can make the same logic work for anything. "Most hard drug users were born, so therefore, if you were born, it cuases you to do hard drugs." This is called a "theory" for a reason. It is not fact."

Is caffeine a gateway drug almost? I know it sounds silly but if you think about it some people get addicted to caffeine bc of its "picker upper effect" the enrgy and stimulation ti provides, and some people who are so caffeine tolerant begin to crave something stronger, like a real stimulant such as xtc, crank, or worse cocaine.

Kellie replied: "Anything is a gateway drug to an addict. People go from being alcoholics to being porn-addicts... from heroin addicts to religious fanatics...."

PoundRidge replied: "Crank and at times XTC can be worse than coke. Cocaine is a natural product, while those others are man made, some with household chemicals, so the last part of your sentence is incorrect."

But..Caffeine is gateway to heaven when you can't live without it..I'm 22 and a addict..Love ya starbucks.. peace hey u drink coffee or do crank why ya ask lol? just wondering hehe.."

Marijuana a "gateway drug"? I don't think so.? the real "gateway drug" is one that is legal, one that we have available every day, on every corner.. that is caffeine. think about it..marijuana is a relaxant. caffeine, on the other hand, is a stimulant. it gets you prepared to take harder drugs..stimulants such as cocaine, meth, etc.. lol...(god some people are so NAIVE)...yes, i'm sure everyone has tried weed before they have tried any harder drugs. just like everyone has tried milk. and drank water. and ate a sandwich. everyone tries everything before harder drugs.. it depends on the availability of the substance.

missjw4 replied: "I think the most common gateway drug is alcohol.. also legal!"

tnvalleychic07 replied: "its an unresolved question. i guess it really just depends on the person. i know that marijuana was the gateway drug for myself, but i've heard different stories from different people."

chicka0002002 replied: "i would agree that alchohol is a gatewat drug. Most people I know who smoke pot, that's all they do, none of them have tried anything harder. But what they did first before pot, was drinking alchohol."

LOVE&LIGHT replied: "I'm all for legalizing pot and doing away with booze. Not sure that would ever happen but I can dream. I don't think caffeine leads into anything harder. People that do hard core drugs are running from something. They don't need a gateway."

whiskygirl6996@sbcglobal.net replied: ""pot" is considered a gateway drug because if you are willing to try one illegal drug then you are willing to take it a step further besides you can only get so high off pot whether you smoke on joint or five in a row your still only so high. so really a lot of smokers just waste money and move on to more harsh things (not saying all do just a lot on them)"

chattterus replied: "Using any sort of drug for other than medicinal purposes is crude and stupid. Marijuana is a gateway drug socially. It's known to be one of the least harmful drugs out there. So if a drug dealer wants you to try something for the first time, which are they going to offer first? Marijuana or Cocaine. The answer to that should be obvious. Of course this is coming from a person who dislikes smoking and hates alcohol. Why would anyone want to take a drug when it is not needed? The best thing it will do for you is mess you up for a little while no matter what drug we are talking about."

a1tommyl replied: "funny, the first drug that influenced my brain was alcohol. Based on that, I'd say that ALK is the gateway drug. YMMV"

BASS Fisherman replied: "No, bud is a gateway drug in the sense that usually when you do it you end up hanging out with people who do harder drugs and sooner or later they offer you some, usually for free. Then you think "it's cool" I'll do some more, then your hooked. It doesn't apply to everyone, but the majority. Almost everyone I used to smoke bud with is now on harder drugs. Crack, coke, acid/LSD, ice, oxy's, morphine, you name it I know people that do it. And usually it starts with pot. It did for all my friends, and me. I am clean now but face jail time do to my actions from drugs and alcohol. My trial is July 27, and hopefully since I don't have a bad record, I won't end up in jail. But that's better than ending up like a handful of my friends that have died from overdose. I see what you are saying about caffeine, but most of the dope-heads I know never drank coffee or soda to get buzzed. You smoke pot to get high. Most don't smoke to sleep. Hope this answered your question."

CARLI replied: "i don't believe there are any gateway drugs. people make choices based on what interests them and what line that person feels it is OK to cross, nothing more. just because a person feels that it is OK to use marijuana does not mean that they feel it is OK to use cocaine or meth or any other chemically processed drug. marijuana is an herb, it is not physically addictive and not associated with violent acts due to the effects or due to the "crave" that DRUGS are known for."

clone170 replied: "ask anybody who does drugs what their first experince was with, the answer more than likely will be weed. it is the gateway drug for anyone i have ever known. don't be so nieve."
