Found an article in The New York Times which states both everything I believe in terms of Marijuana being a gateway drug and that it has serious addictive properties that lead to further addiction for some. I highly (no pun intended) recommend this read. The Marijuana argument is not about two sides. It's not about three sides. It's about all sides and identifying what those sides are.
We cannot expect to have a "One Size Fits All" approach when it comes to this issue. While everyone seems to care about the cancer patient and the AIDS patient, whom we should care about, no one seems to be interested in discussing how second hand Marijuana smoke alone can start the cycle of addiction in a sober addict.
I for one will be raising that issue.
