WHAT ARE GATEWAY DRUGS, &

SHOULD PARENTS BE CONCERNED?

The New York Times recently reported that the gateway drug theory is having a “comeback” – and new studies are supporting the notion that gateway drugs exist. As a parent whose son or daughter has smoked or drank before, should you be concerned? What’s Turnbridge’s take on the gateway drug theory? We detail our thoughts – and the science behind it – below.

What Are Gateway Drugs?

Gateway drugs are introductory, habit-forming substances that give way to more severe drug use down the road. They are typically milder, fairly-accessible substances – for example, alcohol or marijuana – that are first used in adolescence or young adulthood. These easy-to-get, easy-to-use drugs familiarize young users with first feelings of intoxication. Over time, it is thought that young users gain confidence and decide, “Hey, if I can handle this, what else can I try that will get me high?”

That’s where the gateway effect comes in – young users who try one drug are more likely to try more. Most often, the substances they take the second- or third- time around are stronger, with more risky side effects: heroin, prescription pills, cocaine. There is a science behind this.

Drugs like marijuana and alcohol boost a user’s dopamine levels, which therefore produces feelings of euphoria and pleasure. This is the “high” that first-time users experience. As they use more and more regularly, the user develops a tolerance and experiences less of the drug’s effect. This may lead some to seek out different drugs that cause a more dramatic high – which is often where addiction begins.The gateway drug theory first surfaced and gained popularity in the 1980s – experts found that, when adolescents used “soft” drugs like tobacco, alcohol, and marijuana, their risk of using “hard” drugs – drugs typically perceived as more harmful – increased. As did their chance of developing an addiction to illicit substances such as opioids, cocaine, and methamphetamines later in life

What are positive effects of drugs?

Pleasure is an obvious part of drug use and the short-term physical benefits are well known. Drugs can produce a “high”, give people energy, make them feel good, reduce stress and aid sleep.

GATEWAY DRUGS AFFECT HEALTH

Answer:

The gateway drug effect (also known as the stepping-stone theory, escalation hypothesis, or progression hypothesis) is a broad term for the frequently observed effect that the use of one psychoactive substance increases the likelihood of using another. Possible causes include biological changes in the brain caused by prior substance exposure and similar attitudes of people who use different substances across different substances (common vulnerability to addiction).[1] In 2020, the National Institute on Drug Abuse published a study supporting allegations that marijuana is a "gateway" drug to more dangerous substance use, though not for the vast majority of people who use substances.

A National Institute on Drug Abuse study published in 2020 found that marijuana use is "likely to precede use of other licit and illicit substances" and that "adults who reported marijuana use during the first wave of the survey were more likely than adults who did not use marijuana to develop an alcohol use disorder within 3 years; people who used marijuana and already had an alcohol use disorder at the start were at greater risk of their alcohol use disorder worsening." However, the vast majority of marijuana users do not progress to the use of other, "harder" narcotics. Furthermore, cross-sensitization in drug is not limited to marijuana. Alcohol and nicotine, like marijuana, prepare the brain for heightened sensitivity to other drugs and are often taken before a person proceeds to other, more dangerous substances."
