Alcohol, the drug everyone seems to ignore.

Been around forever and used well before most other substances get used. Just kids being kids but the world has changed in 50 years. Prohibition did not work.

Education, good education, not lies and fairy tales. Allowing ALL kids access to good counseling and making sure kids are safe. I think just listening would really help.

Since before the 1960s? Is that BCE? Alcohol has been around a looooong time.

The government is making far to much money confiscating the property of low level dealers, among others, to give up easily.

I've taught my family cannabis is less dangerous than alcohol.

If I hadn't been lied to about weed I wouldn't have thought I'd been lied to about other drugs I'd tried. So in that respect it was a gateway drug.

I'm an addict. As a musician, I get regular doses of dopamine 3-4 hours a day. I can't live without it

Majority of people will tell you that smoking weed is a gateway drug. Since, it's still illegal in most states, and unfortuntly , Illinois is still one of them.
