Marijuana is not a "stepping stone"

An independent study conducted by the nonprofit RAND Drug Policy Research Center indicates that marijuana is not a so-called "stepping stone" for addiction to other, "harder" drugs, such as heroin.

It is worth noting that this is exactly what sworn anti-drug addiction advocates around the world, and especially in the USA, are emphasizing. It is believed that a person who has tried marijuana will certainly want “more of a high,” and will almost certainly become addicted to something worse. A RAND study found that this is at least not entirely true. Having processed statistics on drugs between 1982 and 1994, experts came to the conclusion that teenagers who took “hard” drugs had a predisposition to do so, regardless of whether they first tried marijuana or not.

"Marijuana is not a 'stepping stone.' It's simply the first drug most teens try," said lead author Andrew Morral, who found that about 50 percent of American teens have tried marijuana by age 16, while most don't have the opportunity to try harder drugs until their 20s.

The RAND researchers, however, are not calling for legalization of marijuana, which some scientists say has a very negative effect on the human brain.

However, the US government is being asked to reconsider its attitude towards marijuana as one of the most important objects in the "war on drugs". RAND believes that spending excessive forces and resources on the fight against marijuana will not reduce the turnover of "hard" drugs.
