Actually science does disagree with me and so does my life working with addicts both in Canada, Mexico or the US and I figure when I go to Peru I will find the same thing.This is the problem. You're speaking from both propaganda and feelings. Actual science disagrees with you and provides evidence contrary to your opinion. Pot is not a gateway drug.

Not going to flame you, just going to point out the error in your thinking.
It is funny when people who have agendas like the legalization of marijuana find publishing saying it is not a gateway drug and then ignore the large truth to the matter.
I also don't hold to the propaganda that the government needs to regulate everything. I am a large individualist who belives in the rights of the individual but I am not a Libertarian as it is impossible to be one.
But being blind to a fact that marijuana starts people on a road to addiction is like saying I don't care if you say the sun rises in the east i am going to look west every morning.
I understand what you are saying don't give me the facts I have already made up my mind and I have people who agree with my philosophy and have published articles to back up what I want done.
There is no error to my thinking I have vast experience in dealing with addicts. I have spoke all over the US and Canada on this subject both with groups that are dealing with addicted people in their lives and with others who are seeking information.
Last year I drove over 65,000 miles around the US and Canada and I will be back on the road in January.
So I will weigh my vast experience in this area against your opinion.
I am not trying to be rude, you are entitled to your opinion and whether I agree with you or not I will stand up for your right to hold to your opinion.
But please don't tell me that you are going to point out the error in your thinking
That is an egotistical thought process that says you understand both my heart and my purpose.
