Pfff. Try food. People naively say "weed is a gateway to other drugs", meaning cocaine. In practice, the biggest drug it opens the highway to is food.

A stoner would smoke half-a-joint and then easily eat a pound of processed meat, then send a whole bag of chips down the hatch, washing it down with two or three pints of beer, and twenty minutes later will be eating ice cream directly from the bucket.

Food is the worst and most dangerous drug of modern human history. It has killed more animals, insects, and humans than any other drug. Cocaine compared to it is a kindergarten party.

I'd like to say that's a little bit of an exaggeration but I also feel like a joint and $25 for taco bell at 1am wouldn't help my case...

it is not an exaggeration lol
My comment was not a gateway drug reference is was intended to point out that a drug users have a heart attack is often using cocaine
That still will be the bad eating habits and junk food. Bad food kills more people than cocaine. With or without weed's help.
What are you talking about?
