Joseph D McNamara said about cannabis as a "gate way drug. "Both President Clinton and Newt Gingrich tried Marijuana without going on to harder drugs and lives of crime. Indeed, most of the police officers I hired during my 18 as police chief admitted in their preemployment interviews that they had tried Marijuana. It didn't keep them from becoming fine police officers"(13)

Also societies tolerance of drug use via less punitive laws does not lead to an increase of the drugs use (14). Illegal drugs and violence are linked primarily through drug marketing: disputes among rival distributer, arguments and robberies involving buyers and sellers, property crimes committed to rise drug money and, more speculatively, social and economic interaction between the illegal markets and the surrounding communities(15).

Many youths drugs experimentation is only temporary with no long lasting effects or harms (16). Its not abnormal for teens to experiment with drug, and can be part of just part of their development(17).
