i suppose is that if you break the law to get your weed and start hanging out with dealers etc you may get more involved in other illegal shit. sure. it can happen when weed is criminalized.
but it's not the weed itself that does it-- it's the getting involved with crime.
during prohibition, beer was a gateway drug. during famines, black-market rice is the gateway drug too i suppose.
jean valjean stole a loaf of bread and was sentenced to five years in prison. every time he tried to escape they increased his sentence. gateway bread!

I agree completely which is why i mentioned a correlation. Also the fact that getting cannabis from black market which exposes people to shady situations is a tenet of legalization advocacy.
