    The check doesn’t say “doesn’t smoke crack” just definitely smokes weed.

    I feel like anyone who has made their way to crack has stopped to smoke a joint on the way

      Sadly many go straight to heroin then to crack after a morphine addiction due to injury and such, and don’t actually go through any “softer” drugs.

        I’m not in the US and meth isn’t really a thing here but the downer -> stimulant path doesn’t sound very logical to me. Once you’re at heroin, the only thing you want more of is heroin.

          I guess it could be, if you’re experimenting with it recreationally, and your dealer is selling both? That path is easily avoided by just legalizing weed, though.

          If you’re looking for drugs because your doctor prescribed buckets of oxy for your back pain, only to then pull the rug and expect you to quit cold turkey, you’re going straight to opiates.
