Facts

Biomedical and scientific studies are beginning to unearth the reason for this tight statistical relationship between use of marijuana and other drugs. Recent studies at universities in California, Italy and Spain reveal that marijuana affects levels of dopamine (the substance that gives pleasure) in the brain in a manner similar to heroin and cocaine (as well as nicotine and alcohol). While scientists have not yet uncovered the smoking gun, they have certainly found the trigger finger. Proponents of decriminalization and legalization argue that so long as there is not conclusive proof of the gateway relationship, we should not worry about it. But parents who mistake the absence of proof for the proof of absence are playing Russian Roulette with their children's lives. Although most kids who use marijuana will not move on to heroin and cocaine, teens who use marijuana are far more likely to get into harder drugs than teens who don't. Remember, most cigarette smokers will not get lung cancer; less than 20 percent will.
There is no such thing as a safe recreational drug. A person high on marijuana has the same lack of judgment, poor coordination, and diminished sense of fear as a person drunk on whiskey. The leading cause of death for young people is automobile crashes—and sometimes those fatal crashes are caused by marijuana, or a combination of marijuana and other drugs or alcohol. Marijuana impairs the ability to drive, operate machinery, or judge dangerous situations. As such, it can be deadly.
During the 1980s, increasing numbers of pregnant drug-dependent women went to medical facilities—some to receive ongoing prenatal care, but others only to deliver their babies without the benefit of any prenatal care. Such women fear the threat of confrontation with legal authorities. The general lack of women-oriented drug-treatment programs contributes to this major health problem—addiction in pregnancy. It has also contributed to increased medical and social maladies and mortality in such mothers and their infants.
Illegal users of methadone sometimes combine it with cocaine as well. Cocaine causes a different sort of high in the brain, one that is unaffected by methadone. Users of cocaine and methadone find themselves in the difficult position of being addicted to two different substances at the same time, with a host of side effects unique to each substance.
