If you smoke marijuana, does that mean you have access to harder drugs?

We know a lot of people smoke marijuana, regardless of the law, but does that mean they also have access to harder drugs like cocaine, speed, ecstacy and heroin, or do they only know marijuana dealers?

In a way. The idea is that if you smoke pot you buy it from a 'drug dealer'. And one day you'll go to your dealer and he'll say 'Hey, I'm out of pot today, so why don't you try some of THIS.' If pot was legalized that wouldn't be a problem.

But in fact I know a lot of people who smoke pot all the time, and not very many of them have ever tried anything harder. I've smoked it for decades and I've never had the slightest desire to move on to 'the hard stuff'. Any pot smoker (well -almost- any) will tell you 'Oh, I never go near that other stuff! It'd ADDICTIVE! It'll KILL you!'

Potentially. If you use Marijuana (which is a gateway drug) it can lead to usage of worse drugs.
