TRUE GATEWAY

Re: "Twin study supports gateway drug theory," Jan. 22.

Somebody should ask addicts, "What was the first drug you did, nicotine or 
marijuana?"

I'll bet they would reply nicotine, and I'll bet they are still addicted.

This country should recognize that the real gateway drug is cigarettes. It 
is more addictive than opium . . . and legal.

Wake up, America.
