Anything but anecdotes buddy? You also contradicted yourself by sayomg you dont think its addictive, only habitually addictive... which futher prooved my point that addiction is a mental disorder as habbits are dependent on an individuals mental state. Lol here is what cannabis actually does. Your description of how its a gateway drug is like sayimg poverty is a gateway drug. Truth is, a week mind is the gateway. Plain and simple. Stop looking for something out there to blame for peoples choices and let them own their own. Take away all drugs and people will huff paint, markers, gasoline, etc.... its a mental disorder you speak of. This plant is not the demon you are searching for.
