"Gateway" might be applicable label for weed, after all

Marijuana may actually serve as the dreaded "gateway drug" earlier generations labeled it to be -- at least among teenagers. It seems that in immature "teen-aged" rats, the use of cannabis dramatically increased their later susceptibility to opioid addiction, whether it be by abusing heroin or from being given morphine or a derivative by a physician.


I wonder if Gateway Pundit knows about this? Should he worry about other gateways? ;-)


I'm certainly glad I was a wholesome lass with no vices, when I was a teen...
hi, Mom. You can stop sniggering, now. You know I was too broke to misbehave, back then, and nothing much has changed since, as far as that goes.
