Decades of stigma labeled THC as a gateway drug, suggesting it leads to harder substance use. However, research reveals this theory is flawed. Instead, many use THC intentionally for improved sleep and relaxation rather than as an escape. Studies show that socioeconomic factors, not cannabis use, are better indicators of future drug abuse. Furthermore, THC may offer an alternative to more dangerous substances like alcohol or opioids. Overall, THC is emerging as a useful aid for wellness rather than a pathway to addiction.
The data does not support the "gateway drug" myth; instead, THC is often a stepping stone to improved wellness and control over sleep and relaxation.
Most people who use THC for wellness do not go on to harder substances, as socioeconomic factors are more predictive of future drug abuse.
