Yeah, sure, it's a gateway in that it stops people from going any further. It's the absence of legal weed that makes people look for alternatives to get high!

And the FACT that the suppliers of illegal cannabis often have other illegal drugs!

Unlike legal cannabis shops, which sell only legal cannabis!
