Ist Cannabis eine Einstiegsdroge?
Immer wieder wird behauptet, dass der Cannabiskonsum den Einstig in andere Drogen einleitet. Das ist der Hauptgrund, warum konservative Politiker gegen die Legalisierung sind.
Meiner Meinung nach ist es so, dass Cannabis, weil es verboten ist, auf dem Schwarzmarkt gehandelt wird, wo man nur zu leicht auch an andere Drogen kommt. Wenn man Cannabis in lizenzierten Läden kaufen könnte, wo es keine anderen Drogen gibt und die Qualität des Cannabis kontrolliert wäre, würden die Konsumenten auch nicht in Kontakt mit anderen Drogen kommen.
Wie ist Eure Meinung dazu? Ist Cannabis eine Einstiegsdroge, weil es verboten ist oder würde es kenen Unterschied machen, wenn es legal wäre?
The entry-level drug hypothesis (for a theory it has not been enough to date) is at best controversial.

The fact that individual cannabis users are experiencing a problematic consumption or that so-called harder drugs are also trying out at least once does not repeat this.
Otherwise: If cannabis acts as an entry-level drug, then insofar as one is criminalized for handling and one has to do with procurement with dealers.
Cannabis would therefore be the entry into criminality because it is possible to criminalise a comparatively (i.e., in comparison with other criminal activities which, unlike the use of cannabis, are the damage of third parties) in a harmless way. This can make the understanding of what it means to make itself punishable and what it means to adhere to laws. It can also soften confidence in the state and its institutions.
Apart from that, as you already say, cannabis is, under certain circumstances, for some (but far from all) the entry into other drugs, namely the other and sometimes “harder” drugs that this dealer offers, to which one might not have direct contact under legal conditions and which it definitely does not in a licensed cannabis business.
I don’t think it can effectively prevent people from taking drugs, and you don’t have to. Instead, we should make the stagnant consumption as safe as possible by providing clean goods. It’s about Drug mouth.
You speak to me from the soul.
Thanks very much ⭐
You deserved the star.
I think cannabis can be a drug. Often it is claimed that it is not harmful. However, in many I know, I am 12 that those who have already started with 13 today have massive problems with memory.
Of course, now the question is it a drug only because it is illegal and is not so socially established?
for example alcohol and tobacco products are also a drug but legal. And some are also left from smoking to smoke. So there may be some of the tricky to others. I know from my own experience that for me it was the beginning with
That may be an aspect. But another one is that every drug leaves its effect in continuous use. In the case of the alcohol, more is drunk. In the case of cannabis, only too often is changed to stronger.
This is worth considering.
Know many guys who are almost broken now because of drugs, all of them were cannabis entry drug.
Many have long since died because of overdose with hard drugs and with all cannabis was entry drug.
Also know some types that started with cannabis and then went over to hard drug, were drug addicted(sometimes even 10 years and longer) and still managed to stop using drugs, but there isn’t much of them, because it’s too hard to stop with drugs.
So,but don’t start acuh with cannabis,so to say,just try for fun par time.

I’ve been stealing for 40 years and also trying other drugs (cocaine, heroin, codein, etc.). I’ve never been dependent on anything. And because the ciff hasn’t touched me anymore, I stopped it a year ago — just like that.
Even with me, something similar (not 40 years, clearly less) was simply stopped.
I mean only a few to make
just so stop,at least not all I know or knew person(because they are already dead)
It may be that most people consume the hard drugs at some point are beginning with cannabis, but most cannabis users have never tried other drugs.
This is not a simple question, just as even the matter with drugs is not easy.
I do not think that this question can be answered in such a way.
That’s what I know. But it remains the question of whether the ciff is the entry into harder drugs, or whether consumers of harder drugs have a personal disposition to drug use and polytoxikomanie and, besides coke, »H« or others, also take cannabis.
It can be that many people have started using hard drugs sometime with cannabis. However, most cannabis consumers have never tried any other drugs. I consume cannabis occasionally, but I never thought to try any other drugs. No one could talk to me. I haven’t even been drinking a drop of alcohol for three years and don’t smoke cigarettes. Even cannabis I only consume as Edibles and never smoked it. I care about my health.
23% of all adult Germans have already consumed cannabis, but not even 1% consumes hard drugs. The conclusion that someone who once consumes cannabis will probably start to consume other drugs is not given so now. I guess after a legalization, it wouldn’t change.
No, this myth has long been degenerated, scientifically.
Cannabis is not an entry drug that has been refuted over 30 years ago (!), but old-fashioned parties still stick to it

All the drugs I’ve tried, I’ve tried in the alcoholized state, just on the edge
Absolutely no entry-level drug
It’s an entry drug.
Incorrect, cannabis is not considered as an entry drug in science.
True, but as the questioner writes, cannabis could also easily get to other drugs.
It may be that the prohibition favours contact with other illegal drugs for cannabis users. However, this does not make cannabis an entry-level drug, but rather is a criticism of the existing drug policy regarding the use of cannabis.
