The Gateway Drug Misconception

One of the most persistent myths surrounding cannabis use is the idea that it serves as a “gateway drug,” leading users to experiment with harder, more dangerous substances. At Altius Dispensary, we believe in educating our customers and dispelling such misconceptions.

The Truth Behind the Myth

Research has consistently shown that there is no direct causal link between cannabis use and the use of harder drugs. While it’s true that some individuals who use harder drugs may have started with cannabis, this doesn’t mean that cannabis caused them to progress to other substances.

Many factors contribute to drug use and addiction, including:

• Genetic predisposition
• Environmental influences
• Mental health issues
• Socioeconomic factors
