Debunking the Gateway Drug Myth: Understanding Cannabis Facts

A Common Cannabis Misconception

One of the most persistent myths in the cannabis community is the “gateway drug” theory, which suggests that using cannabis inevitably leads to experimenting with harder substances. At Altius Dispensary, we believe in educating our community with factual, science-based information about cannabis use and its effects.

Understanding the Research

Modern studies have consistently shown that correlation doesn’t equal causation. While some people who use harder drugs may have tried cannabis first, the vast majority of cannabis users never progress to other substances. Various factors, including social environment and personal circumstances, play much more significant roles in substance use patterns.
