Hello,

I see you have published a second story on this article. Whatever conclusions you may arrive at, I draw your attention to the report itself, p7.
where it says:

"In summary, the current findings provide direct evidence in support of the gateway hypothesis that adolescent cannabis exposure contributes to greater heroin intake in adulthood."

In other words cannabis IS NOT a gateway drug.

Further, the rats that HAD been exposed to cannabis, showed LESS desire to hunt after it.

Tne report is freely available on the web, Google: Neuropharmacology.

Since the report clearly shows that cannabis is NOT a gateway drug, one can only wonder what personal motivations the authors had for their bizarre and dishonest conclusions.

Or do you HONESTLY think, after reading it, that it really demonstrates what it claims?

Correction to the above:
The quote on page 7 is:-
«The periodic exposure to low-dose THC during adolescence did not appear to predispose animals to an increased sensitivity to initiate heroin self-administration.»

The previous quote is Yasmin Hurd's bizarre conclusion on the basis of totally contradictory data.

Thank You

This article seems to suggest that cannabis use cause heroin addiction. Surely, to make such a laughable claim, the article needs to show a far more thorough investigation.
