Of course, they liked it but how did they get the idea to try it?<br />
<br />
Cocaine is a very serious drug and getting the idea to try it won't come casually, unless of course it was purely from peer pressure which can be the case sometimes.<br />
<br />
You can not possibly believe that NO pot smoker started with pot and then a good while later went on to cocaine. Not any. Then what do you believe the number is? 10% of pot smokers started with it and went on to cocaine? 20%? 30%?

If someone had some, they willingly put themselves in that position to join in or could have easily avoided it if they really wanted to. So I'll ask yet a different way how did they get into the position to join in?<br />

But you didn't answer the question. Of the 2 million heavy cocaine users, how many started with pot? You got to believe it is 10% or more. You can say well, at least 20% of them. Then I will say, for at least 20% of them, marijuana was a gateway drug. My guess is at least 50% of them started with pot.

I smoked crack a fair amount too, but all I want is for you to answer my question. I am asking for a number. What is your guess of the percentage of heavy cocaine users who did pot beforehand? I said 50%. If you don't want to respond with a number, don't bother.

</blockquote>smoking crack was stupid....and a number is just that....a number.....when i first tried Coke.....it wasnt because i had smoked pot.....pot had nothing to do with it....it was because i had done "whites" and i liked the pick up it gave,so i thought Coke would be even better,so i was very open to it.....but...i saw the writing on the wall and stopped pretty quick .....im sure there MANY MANY pot smokers who tried Coke,not because they were smoking pot....but because the allure of being UP.....many also saw the downside to it and quit real quick.....so just because you were smoking pot first....that does not mean it was your gateway drug.....if pot was the first drug you ever did then maybe you can say that.....but many people were smoking cigs, drinking and doing other things before they tried pot or coke.........</div>
