The Truth Behind an Age-Old Cannabis Misconception

One of the most persistent myths surrounding cannabis has been the “gateway drug theory” – the idea that using marijuana inevitably leads to experimenting with harder substances. As Michigan’s premier cannabis provider, Joyology is committed to educating our community with factual, science-based information about cannabis use.

Understanding the Research

Recent studies have consistently shown that there is no direct causal relationship between cannabis use and the subsequent use of other substances. The correlation that was previously observed can be attributed to various social and environmental factors, rather than marijuana itself.

Key Points to Consider:

  • Most cannabis users never progress to other substances
  • Personal and social circumstances play a larger role in drug use patterns
  • Legal, regulated cannabis reduces exposure to illegal drug markets
  • Medical cannabis often helps reduce dependency on prescription medications

The Importance of Legal Access
