EIGHTY-FIVE PERCENT ON HEROIN STARTED WITH MARIJUANA

As much as I enjoy raising the ire and disdain of citizens all over this 
county, and country, with my admittedly neo-conservative views, I urge you 
to please read what I write, not what you thought I wrote.

I did not say that 85 percent of people who smoke pot go on to use heroin, 
crack, etc. I said 85 percent of people who use heroin, crack, etc. started 
out using pot.
