NO GATEWAY

Let's be clear about this theory that marijuana is a "gateway drug" (Smith 
Responds, Jan. 3, 2003).

According to the U.S. government, over 70 million Americans have used 
marijuana.

According to the U.S. government there are 120,000 monthly users of heroin.

Marijuana is NOT a "gateway drug." Just ask the 69,880,000 non-heroin users 
that smoked marijuana.
