Marijuana was my gateway drug
My alcoholism and marijuana use go hand in hand. If I were to smoke without drinking I have panic attacks. If l were to drink without smoking I get angry. The two definitely feed into each other for me.
I routinely found myself looking for just the right alcohol buzz to start with the weed.
I hear people say marijuana isn't a gateway drug. It was mine, even before alcohol. I went from pot to LSD to alcohol to cocaine.
Today I'm still struggling with my alcohol/marijuana mix. 3 days sober.
The social stigma that marijuana is harmless baffles me.
