Marijuana leads to herion addiction. Thats why there are 100 million heroin addicts in this country. wait a minute. There AREN'T 100 million heroin addicts?? dang. there goes that myth about "marijuana leads to other, harder drugs". Maybe its MILK that leads to marijuana... a lot of people that smoke pot drank a lot of milk when they were young...I think its an interest in POLITICS that leads to drugs...that what caused Obama to use cocaine and pot...George Bush must have drank a lot of milk AND had a big interest in politics, too. Clinton only drank OJ. Thats why he never inhaled.
