But then again, if you look at people who have addictive personalities, and are actively seeking help for problems with say, meth, coke, or heroin, and you asked them what the first drug they did was, they'll probably tell you it was marijuana.

This is from personal experience. I've known and dealt with a couple of addicts, as I'm sure all of us have.

edit: This was a devils advocate statement, as I'm pro legalization.
