Hell you can even abuse prescription drugs if you wanted too. I have friends that use pot and when their high they just wanna chill out, eat, joke around, and bs.

Pot as a gateway drug has always been foolish at best. The studies don't take into consideration if those who use hard drugs and smoked pot first also used nicotine and/or alcohol products.
I remember a woman in a bar ripping in to me when I spoke in favor of pot because her grandfather ruined his life starting with pot and moving on to cocaine. This was in the late 60's and if you do some simple math this would have been when coke was widely used in numerous "health" products.
The irony of her drunken tirade has stuck with me all these years.
