The cookie jar syndrome is something we all suffer from. Basically it is the idea that if we are told that we are not to have something, then we are compelled to obtain it. Think of a child wanting to get into the cookie jar and is told no. The cookie jar is placed on top of the refrigerator. The child will build a ladder out of everything he can find to get to the cookie jar.

Thats an example that marijuana is not a gateway drug, but that people open minded enough to try marijuana, are also open minded enough to try other drugs. Not that because they try marijuana they try other drugs.
My post was mainly something that can be used against the government when they say that marijuana is a gateway drug.
