The question should be: "How many of those who smoke crack today started with marijuana?" Here we see that the answer is "A heck lot more than a few percent".
So, yes, marijuana is a gateway to heavier drugs, and therefore there is only one way to treat it; avoid it like plague.

How many people that learn to walk murder someone? Just a small percent.
How many people that murder learn to walk? 100%!
I was reading the American Dental Society's website about tongue piercings. They said that teens who got a tongue piercing were more likely to smoke. That is horribly unscientific because the factors are entirely unrelated. People who smoked marijuana then moved to crack didn't start because of marijuana. They were screwed up or unfortunate to begin with!
