Comment: Alcohol, Marijuana, are DRUG gateways to the WORST DRUGS on the Face of The Earth.  I have been stating this for over 40 years.  Proof,  how many articles have you read where a recovering addict says, YES, it all started with Alcohol & Marijuana, then progressed RAPIDLY to METH, HERION, COCAINE.  I have read ten's of thousands+  of these articles.  The professional drug counselors will tell you, ONCE a USER and ADDICT, always an ADDICT.  There are a few ADDICT'S  that once they are in a professional RECOVERY program, can remain sober and abstain from using,  its a LIFETIME Program and very few can adhere to it that long.    The ones that do, I APPLAUD them.  

The only way I see to Eliminate alcohol and drug use in high school, college, professional sports, is CONTINUAL drug testing.  Its just that way,  ACCEPT IT,  its been going on for many decades,  its unfortunate that a few bad apples continue to ruin it for the majority.  

I  would like to see Alcohol & Pot, All Drugs, BANNED...
