here is the link. the study basically says pot does not lead to harder drugs, specifically heroin, the whole gateway theory is bullshit. what do you think?

I love this..

The control rats paced their cages and repeatedly pressed the active bars even when the light indicating availability wasn't on. The pot rats, on the other hand, figured out that the heroin was available only at certain times, and that pacing and tapping the bar incessantly wasn't worth the trouble. When heroin was available, the marijuana rats took more of it. But when it wasn't, they chilled in the corner.
