Ehh, I'm sure that it plays it's role. Having something easily accessible would increase the desire to try it, I'm sure.

I don't personally know a bunch of people who deal, only a few, but all of them deal strictly with cannabis and nothing more. I'm not suggesting that it doesn't exist, I'm 100% certain that it does. I don't know about how common it is though, as I haven't personally seen it in my lifetime.

I think age plays its part, if I had tried anything as a teenager I'm certain that I would have been far more vulnerable. My mind was young and I was very immature. I don't think I would have been able to handle alcohol or anything else at a young age without experiencing some unnecessary consequences..

There are a number of causes and reasons for bad things to happen if you try any drug. The blame can be put almost anywhere, really.. I'm not one to say that cannabis is good for you, by any means.. but there are FAR FAR worse things going on that people should be concerned about, and I think that for the most part.. harmless people are being punished over a pretty harmless drug.
