First opening our doors in 2018, Cultivate Las Vegas is well-known across Las Vegas and surrounding areas. We’ve built our reputation by offering unmatched quality of products and customer service. As a reputable Weed Dispensary, we understand the importance of educating our customers and dispelling common myths surrounding cannabis. Here’s one myth we’d like to debunk:
Myth: Cannabis is a Gateway Drug
This is perhaps one of the most persistent and harmful myths about cannabis. The belief that using cannabis leads to the use of harder drugs is simply not supported by scientific evidence. In fact, numerous studies have shown that cannabis use does not increase the risk of using other illicit substances.
- A report by the National Institute on Drug Abuse states that “the majority of people who use marijuana do not go on to use other, harder substances.”
- A study published in the American Journal of Psychiatry found no link between cannabis use and the use of other illicit drugs in a sample of over 8,000 individuals.
- The Institute of Medicine concluded that there is no conclusive evidence that cannabis use precedes the use of other illicit drugs.
At Cultivate Las Vegas, we prioritize education and transparency. As a trusted Cannabis Store and Marijuana Dispensary, we strive to provide accurate information to our customers and dispel unfounded myths surrounding cannabis.
