Did Weed Did Open You Up To Trying Other Drugs?

No. Before I'd smoked pot I'd drank alcohol, taken prescription stimulants/amphetamines, and smoked cigarettes.

I don't believe in the gateway theory as it's not like using those drugs or smoking pot somehow made me want to use every single other drug that I have used. I currently only use caffeine, I drink alcohol socially in low amounts, and I haven't used any illegal drugs in years.

If I were going to use again I'd probably either just smoke pot a few times a month, trip on shrooms a few times a year with friends, or take a very high dose of LSD a few times a year.

I had always had a curiosity about psychedelics such as mushrooms and LSD before I took them.

Before I smoked pot I had assumed that pot would just make you nod off like opiates do.

I grew up around drug addicts who were friends so they would always talk about how certain drugs like cocaine, prescription speed, or opiates were fun and how you should only do coke if it's offered to you for free.
 
The first drug I ever abused was Ritalin, followed by alcohol and then DXM. Weed came much later for me.
 
I smoked weed first because it was the easiest to obtain. Didn't find it interesting at first and so didn't bother with it (i probably wasn't smoking correctly >_>) and then tried LSD before returning to mary-jane. Was always much more interested in LSD and shrooms and the like than weed.
 
When I first started smoking weed it was the only drug I had access to at the time. If I'd had access to LSD or mushrooms I probably would've tried them without a second thought, but I'm glad the opportunity didn't arise as I was pretty clueless about drugs and would've been completely blown away by them.
 
I can't really "blame" weed for me to try other drugs, it certainly gave me some ground bassis on the feeling on beeing high on marijuana, then i wanted to explore what would be other kinds of high, i guess if you see it that way, i guess the awnser is yes, the effect that was generated from weed wanted me to push into that direction of exploratism ( thats not even a word ).
 
Alcohol was my first "high" and until I got alcohol poising, I loved it. I think anyone who has a first great experience on any mind altering substance, that is their "gateway drug". It doesn't always have to be pot.
 
weed came first, and burst the bubble that drugs were "inherantly bad." years later, when i was addicted to heroin i realized there was a truth to it, just not the truth i had been taught.
 
You shouldnt really say that weed or any other drug was a gateway drug.. Yes im not gonna lie it opened me up to everything else, although i wanted to try LSD first.. for me it wasnt the substance but it was the euphoria and the mind boggling experience that made me adventure on :D
