> BACKGROUND: The Gateway Drug Theory suggests that licit drugs, such as tobacco and alcohol, serve as a “gateway” toward the use of other, illicit drugs. However, there remains some discrepancy regarding which drug—alcohol, tobacco, or even marijuana—serves as the initial “gateway” drug subsequently leading to the use of illicit drugs such as cocaine and heroin.

合法化してしまう、というのもあり (スコア:3, 興味深い)
アルコールに手を出すことで、違法な行為に対する心理的な障壁が下がってしまうのだと思います。
いきなりドラッグは心理的な障壁が高すぎて手を出しにくいですが、
まず、アルコール（大人は飲んでも良いので多少障壁が低い）に手を出す
→繰り返すことで、違法行為一般に対する障壁が下がってくる
→ドラッグに手を出しやすくなる
という経路があるように思えます。
とすると、規制強化ではなく、逆にアルコールを飲んでいいよ、としてしまうと、
アルコールを飲んでも違法な行為に対する心理的な障壁は下がらないので、
かえってドラッグに手を出さなくなるのではないでしょうか。
逆に、大人も含めてアルコールはNGとしてしまう手もありますが、
アメリカはそれをやって懲りた過去がありますね。

酒-.マリファナ->違法ドラッグが王道で、タバコから入るやつは少ないということがわかったらしいが、なぜタバコではないのかは心理的障壁からは説明がつかないね

あとアメ公はマリファナに抵抗なんてないから
