¨Marijuana is a gateway drug for two debates¨ is about the addictive potential of Marijuana. Since the seventies pot has become increasingly more strong and because it is the most used drug in the world there are more dangers involved as it has become more potent such as more people have become dependent on the drug in recent years. In 2007 more people were admitted to treatment centers than the use of other hard drugs such as cocaine, heroin, or meth. The people seeking treatment for pot use has increased more than even alcohol in the past decade, one of the most popular addictions. However, the article argues that fifty seven percent of the people seeking treatment were ordered by the law, and that the data found on the percentage of people who were seeking treatment were opposed to legalizing marijuana. Others say that the drug has a high potential to cure people of other drug addictions, and is effective for other medical and emotional problems. Experts say that, in fact the drug in not addictive and has less effects that any other substance abused. Also, among dependent users who want to quit the withdrawals have the least intense effects than any drug. This article concludes that although pot is not addictive, it´s users will not live the same lives as non-users, and their potential is more limited.
