The Persistent Misconception
One of the most commonly repeated claims about cannabis is that it serves as a “gateway drug” leading to the use of more dangerous substances. At Zip Cannabis, we believe in educating our community with factual, science-based information about cannabis use and its effects.
Understanding the Research
While correlation between cannabis use and other substances exists, researchers have found that various factors contribute to substance use patterns, including:
- Social environment
- Personal predisposition
- Economic circumstances
- Mental health conditions
What the Evidence Shows
Modern research indicates that most cannabis users don’t progress to harder drugs. In fact, in states with legal cannabis programs like Michigan, opioid prescription rates have actually decreased in many areas.
