Bullshit! Biden will move the goalposts to the next galaxy if he has to. He will keep doubling down on his ridiculous claim. Marijuana can lead to use of harder drugs, but not in a majority of users. Alcohol and tobacco can also lead to drug abuse and they can demonstrably kill you. Why not ban those? Wait, we already tried that with alcohol and it created the mafia. Biden is a worthless, demented, no-nothing, do-nothing hack.
Marijuana could be a gateway drug just like any other mood-altering substance could be. Of COURSE it is possible that a person using/abusing one chemical might go on to use other, mood-altering substances. That does not necessarily mean that the use of the first one is the reason people go on to use other, more potent mood-altering drugs.
Oxycodone and hydrocodone are 'gateway drugs' to heroin use/abuse. A person might never have used any other types of meds/drugs, but were prescribed one of the above two pain meds following an injury or a surgery. And when their doctors won't prescribe more of them, sometimes people (who may already be addicted to these drugs) will turn to street heroin to get their 'fix'!
And Big Pharma – as well as Big Health Care insurance companies – absolutely knows this and they don't care. As long as they are profiting from these codeine-types of drugs, they will continue to urge providers to write prescriptions for them.
The CIA/FBI is attempting to assassinate Tulsi Gabbard with sonic and radiation emission technologies. They are trying to physically kill her with long ranged energy weapons because of her political ideologies.
I've been using cannabis for 46 yrs, and still haven't progressed to anything stronger. Keep talking Joe, keep talking. We need you to fall out of contention, you contentious dinosaur.
Correlation does not imply cause, but idiots like Biden routinely employ this fallacy when they say things like "Heroin addicts started by smoking marijuana." Most heroin addicts probably started out by drinking their morning coffee, and nobody suggests that caffeine is a gateway drug.
If he wins the nomination, Trump or Pence will win. I am imagining Trump stepping down or impeached and Biden will be nominated and Pence will win automatically.
If you’re thinking of voting for someone like Biden who said “nothing will fundamentally change” or Pocahontas — I mean Elizabeth “I’m just another player in the game” Warren
Saying that Marijuana is NOT a gateway drug is false. It CAN be a gateway drug. And I'm for legalization of Cannabis. Saying the ultimatum that it is or isn't is narrow minded. For most people it is not a gateway drug. Yet for some it can be.
Says he wants to "know a lot more about the science" yet his argument is to keep cannabis schedule 1 which makes most scientific research near impossible…
I wonder why he's taking this stance, the establishment doesn't even give a fuck about this issue anymore, forget about the facts surrounding legalization. Maybe the prison-industrial complex s in his pocket? Like I genuinely don't know why he thinks taking this stance is a good idea, what are his advisers saying?
They will never legalize cannabis unless the law includes the ability to strip the rights from those who use it. It's too powerful a tool to keep the disenfranchised suppressed.
It surprises me that with polls stating that as many as 91% of Americans approve of marijuana for medical or recreational use that Biden would choose to make such an unpopular statement. Some of the Democratic candidates are really floundering.
40 years I was buying weed from a guy in my dorm. He asked me if I wanted to buy some LSD. I said yes. If reefer is a gateway drug then the pusher man is the gateway. Whisky isn't a gateway drug because they sell it in stores.
But the prescription drug epidemic he/his administration presided over … no problem. Once again, the Dem leadership looks over a huge problem they created.
I smoke weed more than most people but I would like to point out that weed is technically addictive. Actually, more addictive than alcohol, which has a surprisingly low potential for addiction. However, the addiction you experience from cannabis does not exhibit physical withdrawl symptoms, so you could say it's not physically addictive, however, there are still people who are dependent on it to function properly mentally. Again, it's easier to overcome addiction to cannabis than it is alcohol or tobacco or harder narcotics (I've smoked everyday for months at a time and stopped on a dime for months at a time, for example). But saying it's not addictive is technically a false statement. Different people have different propensities to over use or abuse something. It is, however, not a gateway drug.
When I grew up the cigarettes were the "gateway". I don't smoke but I've never ever heard of someone smoking a blunt saying, "Hmmm, maybe heroin is better since I can shoot it and save my lungs." 😒

I just gave the 777th like at the time of posting this, but I'm glad we're calling out Joe yet again for whatever BS he pulled yet again.

He knows that his electoral base is 50+ year olds, ofc he says that shit
This outro through 😂😂😂😂😂 Alpha male not a beta male!
Trump could then undercut him and say he supports legalization
You are not backing up any of statements. Pretty useless video. You have an opinion, that's it.

“State’s Rights,” code for: Permission to do the wrong thing. For examples- slavery, Jim Crow and not bussing for desegregation.
Biden is not a Boomer, idiot.
Cannabis isn't a gateway drug, prescription opioids are and you know it.
If he wins the nomination, Trump or Pence will win. I am imagining Trump stepping down or impeached and Biden will be nominated and Pence will win automatically.
New rule. You must be 55 and under to be president.
I'm sorry but rich folk from retirement communities have proven they can't be trusted.

More proof that Biden still thinks it's 1990.
They will never legalize cannabis unless the law includes the ability to strip the rights from those who use it. It's too powerful a tool to keep the disenfranchised suppressed.
Biden just sucks. 100% Boomer.
It surprises me that with polls stating that as many as 91% of Americans approve of marijuana for medical or recreational use that Biden would choose to make such an unpopular statement. Some of the Democratic candidates are really floundering.
I will never, EVER, vote for that pandering jagoff Biden.
Wanna y’all real actual gateway drugs ? How about pharmaceutical opioids ? How about prescription amphetamines ?
Vice President Okay Boomer.
He's not even on the left. Not even close.
I'm a Boomer and am out here doing my best to change other Boomer minds and hearts for Bernie.

Self-awareness fail, again.
There is no such thing as a "gateway-drug"!
Unfortunately there are millions of people who believe it is a gateway drug despite all of the evidence against that.
Trump yesterday proposed legalizing pot federally.
Pot is not harmless, however; lungs are not designed to be filled with smoke, but addictive and gateway it is not.
Joe Biden is so out of touch that he’s using Nixon era rules on bribery and extortion.

I downvoted for the thumbnail title. That's just stupid, Mike.
Marijuana is a gateway to potato chips.
Just say NO…to Joe!

Andrew Yang appears in a picture with marijuana plants. Biden talks about how it's a gateway drug. Ok Boomer.
It will be a big industry which is why it hasn’t been legalized.
Big Pharma has to figure out how they can lock down the market as a monopoly before they will legalize it.
