It does depend on the person. But I think pot gets a bad rap about it being a gateway drug. The way I see it, no matter what drug you get on, you are likely to start others. If someone started on blow or crack, they may try other drugs. I don\'t do anything that isn\'t natural. I dont\' smoke a lot of pot anymore because its too expensive and I have a life (not to mention I have a lot of aspirations and don\'t want anything to get in the way), but when I do, its just to chill with some friends or at a party.
But yeah, it does depend on the person. I don\'t have an addictive personality. I mean, I smoke cigarettes but if I can\'t afford a pack for a week (I smoke maybe 2 or 3 a day) or don\'t feel like doing it, I have no problem not smoking for a week or two. I guess its the oral fixation that some people have. I was talking to my neighbor who quit cigarettes but he smokes black and milds now and he said its just for like a small fixation, like habit or something (you don\'t actually inhale black and milds but more so puff).
most of my mates are doing drugs of some sort. Mostly pot, speed, lsd etc. I have a few that mainly do pot and nothing more, i have others that get into the harder shit, all but 1 do it within control and don\'t spaz out. They could be on the shit and you\'d barely know it. The one that went to far is now on meds for mental problems.
