That's a terrible excuse. You wouldn't be hanging out with kids who do harder drugs if you didn't smoke weed. You wouldn't buy from a dealer that sells hard drugs, if you weren't buying weed. Kids who have smoked weed are 174 times more likely to try cocaine then those who didn't. That, my friend, is not a coincidence. -Cranium
Your assumptions are terrible, and incorrect. First of all, I have a friend who is helplessly addicted to cocaine, but has never smoked marijuana in his life. He has plenty of friend who have never touched a drug in their lives, either.
I'm not exactly sure what your point is about buying marijuana from a dealer with harder drugs is. That's one of the benefits of making it legal; getting it away from the people who also sell hard drugs. Do you think people are growing coca plants in their living rooms? No, they're not. Cocaine is almost always available specifically through drug dealers, and they're not going to continue to sell marijuana as well if it's been legalized. Why would they? They couldn't profit off of it.
Your argument towards marijuana smokers being more likely to use cocaine is invalid because it's slured by the fact that you wouldn't be introduced to cocaine in the first place if it weren't for the issue of marijuana being on the black market. I'm not sure where you're pulling your precentage from, but it's statistically shown that only 1 out of every 104 marijuana users uses cocaine, and most of them were introduced to it by a dealer, not fellow pot-smokers.
My source? The Union; what's yours?
