WHAT IS THE TRUE GATEWAY TO DRUGS?

What is the TRUE gateway to drugs... marijuana or alcohol? Everywhere you look they refer to marijuana as the "gateway to drugs" but I just don't believe that to be true.

First of all, think of it this way. How can marijuana be the gateway to drugs if it's considered a drug itself? You don't just wake up one day and decide to do drugs. Not to mention, you have to know where to get the drugs. So what better way to open your mind to the idea of experimenting with drugs than alcohol. 

As a teen, when you drink alcohol you are typically among friends. Friends get together, start to drink, and once they are feeling good they are much more open to the idea of trying something else. I cannot tell you how many times I have been to a party and seen teens willing to smoke marijuana, take pills (not knowing what they even are), snort cocaine, or pretty much do anything else that's available. 

These are not the teens that use drugs on a daily basis, but your every day teen that just gets caught in the moment. They may or may not continue to use drugs after they become sober. But the fact remains, the first time a teen will most likely experiment with drugs is when they are using alcohol.

Marijuana simply happens to be the first drug a teen will typically experiment with for one reason... its the most common. But most teens I interviewed who smoked marijuana first didn't venture on to different drugs. They stuck with marijuana. 

I conducted thousands of interviews with American teens and over 90% of them tried a drug for the first time when they were drinking alcohol. Those numbers are astounding!

So I ask again, whats the true gateway to drugs? The answer is alcohol.

Welcome To Hell Poem

This poem is really touching... it shows you the impact that long term drug use can have on a person... and she started using at just 13 years old!!!

''Welcome to Hell," the sign should've read,
Reaching your destination-all in your head!
"Last call for the train heading to Nowhere Fast,"
The memories you create will forever last.
You want to buy a ticket, What's the cost, you ask?
Just hop on board, we'll talk once your trashed.
Close your eyes and picture something grand,
No peeking! Now trust me, and give me your hand!
To a beach with water and the sun shining down,
Open up! No beach here, you're hell bound.
Of course there's water! But it's for your rig and spoon,
Lil' girl, don't be afraid- 14 years old isn't that soon?
The men don't bite, but you'll be messed up beyond belief,
When you do pass out, not remembering- a relief.
Ashamed to face Mommy! Got to have that coke!
Shooting dope everyday, A girl with dreams lost all hope.
I laugh at you as you toss your life in the wind,
To far gone... it's us till' the end.
I'll be there when you loose your pride,
When you forget your morals, I'm at your side.
You'll cheat and steal to have that fix,
Won't take baby to the doctor although she's sick.
Getting a pill- definitely #1 on the list,
Oops. Another appointment baby missed.
Nanny buys diapers because Mommy stays high,
Daddy hits Mommy and the children cry.
After years of this bliss the kids got took,
Mommy is a junkie and fast becoming a crook.
You'll land in jail, a drug addict you remain,
Your heart turns cold as you play the game.
Do not pass go- strip your dignity right here,
This old man wants you, dry your tears,
Quote a price! Self respect long forgotten,
You'd sell your soul to the devil for an Oxycontin.
I told you girl the destination is in your head!
"Welcome To Hell!" Next stop... Well, she's dead.
I told you that I'd stick it out till' the end,
For me, you traded your dreams and kids,
Your Addiction, Life, and your faithful Friend.
