It isn't associated with other drugs. People use marijuana independently of other drugs (such as someone who smokes weed for therapeutic reasons, but refrains from using alcohol or cocaine). If you are inquiring about the 'gateway drug theory', then the simple answer is that people who are open to the idea of marijuana are also open to the idea of all drugs de facto. This is not to say that all marijuana users will go onto 'harder' drugs, I am simply stating that whatever has lead you to marijuana can likely lead you to cocaine (for example) in the same manner. It just so happens that the availability and acceptance of marijuana is high, so it is most likely the first drug one might encounter.
Hope this helps.
<-Excuse me but what are you talking about? the only drug i have ever used have been hash, but i have NEVER been "open too the idea" of other drugs at all. I have been smoking it allmost every day fore five years and never have i been introduced to other drugs simply becurse i don't care for them, the people who gets into harder drugs may start out with hash, but the reason they start taking hard drugs is becurse that they are just plain stupid.. Ps: I recently qwit smoking hash at all (from one day to the other) becurse i desited too take a year without, so that i can travel around a bit. :)

∙ 14y agoWell, pretty much all drugs are used with marijuana. People smoke marijuana while they're on Ecstasy, while they're snorting coke, or smoking heroin, etc., etc. As far as I know, there is not a single drug or medication that is dangerous to take with marijuana.
Marijuana is neither a stimulant nor a depressant, but a mild hallucinogen, and so it does not affect the heart and central nervous system the way most other drugs do. But, as it is a mild hallucinogen, it goes best with other hallucinogenic drugs, like LSD, magic mushrooms, Ecstasy, peyote, and mescaline.

Can smoking marijuana make a person take heavier drugs?
Marijuana isn't considered a 'gate-way' drug, such as cannabis, however the concept of intoxication through drugs can be encouraged from taking any recreational drug. A gate-way drug is a drug that is proven to lead onto the use of other hard drugs, such as heroin.
Does cannabis lead to hard drugs?
There is no credible evidence that marijuana leads to the use of other drugs, and some anecdotal evidence that it can help people with addiction problems. The only connection marijuana has with 'hard' drugs is that they are both illegal, and so a certain percentage of dealers will sell both. People trying to buy marijuana might be exposed to harder substances that way, or (if they are incautious) might find dealers who lace cannabis with harder drugs surreptitiously.
What are the main drugs teens use?
This answer should not affect the way you treat such harmful substances such as drugs. But if this is for a project or experiment, then it is marijuana. Answer Teens are abusing and mixing prescription drugs that they obtain from other people with disastrous results. Marijuana and cocaine use are not far behind.
Why do some people believe that marijuana use leads to hard drug use?
Because somebody told them so. It's not uncommon for people who smoke marijuana to be exposed to harder drugs due to the fact that drug dealers sometimes sell other drugs as well as marijuana. However, most people say no to the other drugs as the marijuana is better and has no negative effects as opposed to unnatural things that can mess people up.

What factors may make a drug a gateway drug?
There is no such thing as a ( gateway drug ). Some people would tell you that marijuana is a gateway drug that will eventually lead to other types of drug abuse and that is not always true. Some people who start abusing drugs do not start out on things like marijuana. I have talked to people who have NEVER used marijuana and have a bad addiction to methamphetamine, narcotic pain relievers such as lortab, percocet, and other types of (pain pills), heroin, LSD, and many other commonly abused drugs. So you cannot label a specific (drug) as a gateway drug because of the high percentage of people who start out using drugs by doing other illegal substances. With saying that there is a percentage of people who do start out using marijuana and other less (hard) drugs that do move on to bigger things, but at the same time there are ALOT of chronic marijuana users that never use any other drugs.
