That "gateway" term is antiquated plus when I attended methadone clinics,

YES, no one ever died from cannabis sativa use, especially when not mixing it with anything else.
One becomes very passive and thinks less than one-dimensional. The
ridiculous 'drug wars' will never be won, while thousands of innocent people die due to this ongoing, incessant ramage.

Medical marijuana is proof that chemo patients, people with glaucoma, etc. have benefited from being able to utilize this Innocent Herb. - 10 months ago
