And they're still calling it dangerous and a "gateway drug."

Yup. Kids are generally smarter than we give them credit for. They're pretty good at telling when they're being fed bullshit like that.

That's rich. Cigarettes are the gateway drug

For me the gateway drug was Alcohol

More people get a caffeine addiction than a nicotine addiction

[–] TopShelfVanilla@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

But caffeine isn't illicit at any age, so it isn't a gateway to other illicit drugs.

It is a drug, so it is a gateway to other drugs. Illicit doesn't matter to biology.
