Does marijuana lead to the use of other drugs?
It could. Studies of high school students show that few young people use other illegal drugs without first smoking weed. The risk of using cocaine is 104 times higher for people who have tried marijuana than for those who never tried it. Once you try marijuana, you start to know drug dealers who sell other drugs, too. So, it becomes easier to get other drugs.

No proof positive or negative.
Pot will bring you closer to
other chemicals and that is nothing to be taken lightly.
Using them is up to you.

huaa..its kind of sad but yes, I know many people that has
been smoking weed almost half of their lives, and its sad
b/c if you really think about it, the more you smoke it, it
wont be so much as of a now and then thing, your body will
be so use to it, it will seem like a natural thing,& u and
your body wont get the full effect(high) as it use to, so it
does lead you to other bigger, worse drugs thats out there,
just so you can get that new high back in your system,hope
that helped answer ur ?
