Marijuana is known as the gateway drug because it is often the first drug abusers try is that true or false?

Answer 1

False. The classification of marijuana as a gateway drug is debated and not universally accepted. While some individuals may try marijuana before trying other drugs, it does not necessarily mean that using marijuana will lead to the use of harder drugs. Multiple factors contribute to drug abuse and addiction, and there is no clear evidence that marijuana specifically leads individuals to use other drugs.
