A study in the August edition of School Health suggests that alcohol, not marijuana, could be the gateway to harder drugs.
Assistant Professor Adam Barry is reported as saying:
“By delaying the onset of alcohol initiation, rates of both licit substance abuse like tobacco and illicit substance use like marijuana and other drugs will be positively affected, and they’ll hopefully go down,”The findings back up a 2010 study in the medical journal Lancet, which listed alcohol as the most dangerous drug of all, and that harms to others were almost double those of the second most harmful drug, heroin.
