Now, "it all started with pot" thing. Well. How about diff cultures - like Jamaican ppl - they smoke like hell but rarely use any hard drugz - as a whole.



There's two things to take into account here:

1> "Hard drugz" are not nearly as easy to come by in Jamaica as they are here. Anyone can grow their own pot for next to nothing, but not many in Jamaica have the means to produce heroin and far fewer have enough money to actually buy it. That is not the case here where every 5 year old has lots of spare cash.

2> As you said, they are a "different culture" and as such, they have a different respect for marijuana. It is the same in other countries with a low or non-existent drinking age. The concept of people abusing marijuana in Jamaica is as foreign as drunk kids roaming the streets of Rome.

Every culture is different, and we most definently are not a culture of moderation. If we like it, we do it a LOT. If someoen says "Don't do that so much", we do it more to spite them.

I dont think legalizing marijuana is a bad thing, we just have some cultural issues to resolve first.
