Pot as a "Gateway Drug": A lesson in reverse logic.
Posted: Wed May 28, 2014 6:00 pm
I was just watching Entertainment tonight, when one blonde (of course) bitch said she was against legalizing pot because it was "proven" to be a "Gateway Drug".
I will attempt to explain by metaphor, the reverse logic that is used by these morons to reach that conclusion:
1. Almost all hard drug users start out on pot. TRUE.
1a. Almost all Navy SEALS start out by learning how to swim. TRUE
2. Some people that smoke pot eventually use harder drugs. TRUE
2a. Some people that learn to swim eventually become Navy SEALS. TRUE
3. People who are inclined to use harder drugs will start out on pot. TRUE
3a. People who are inclined to be Navy SEALS will start out by learning to swim. TRUE
4. Smoking pot means you will eventually use harder drugs. FALSE
4a. Learning to swim means you will become a Navy SEAL. FALSE
5. Since hard drug users start out on pot, pot is a Gateway Drug. FALSE
5a. Since all Navy SEALS know how to swim, swimming is a "gateway" to becoming a Navy SEAL. FALSE.
Any questions?
