Marijuana can be gateway to living
"Marijuana is a gateway drug that leads people to using harder, more illicit drugs." I've heard this and the more I hear it the more I speak up about the need for our state to join the many other compassionate states allowing for the medical use of marijuana.
When I have the chance to tell people my story or the stories of others who are in real physical pain, I agree with them that medical marijuana can be a gateway drug for me. It will allow me to stop using many of these powerful narcotics I currently must use for pain. OxyContin, Dilaudid, The Fentanyl patch and Lyrica, just to name a few. For me, I see it as a gateway back to life.
