[QUOTE="Tanis143, post: 3232258, member: 43724"] Not anymore than you can cite a study that proves it. What they have found is that THC acts like nicotine and alcohol in that it reprograms dopamine receptors and makes the user more susceptible to other stimulants. So yes, most people who have tried or use other drugs have done or do marijuana as well, but correlation does not mean causation as many people who use marijuana do not use any other drugs. If you were so worried about that then we need to ban nicotine and alcohol use as well. And we already know how that would work out. In reality weed is no different than alcohol. I [B]can[/B] be used responsibly, if it was legalized and restricted just as alcohol was. Again, correlation does not equal causation. 100% of people who die drink water, so does drinking water cause their death? This is because laws make it illegal. Just as alcohol spawned the growth of the mobsters in the roaring 20's, the war on drugs fueled the growth of gangs in 70's to today. If weed was legalized and sold just like alcohol most of the social issues attached to marijuana would be gone. Instead of buying from Mr. Drug Dealer down in the hood, you could buy from a dispensary which would be infinitely safer both in location and product. [/QUOTE]
