Answer:

Several studies have looked at the relationship between the use of specific drugs, such as how marijuana use leads to alcohol use. These studies reveal that the use of gateway drugs may not only increase the risk of any drug use, but they may increase the risk of specific types of substance abuse.

A gateway drug is a habit-forming drug that can lead to the use of other, more addictive drugs. The theory that consuming "softer" drugs can lead to using stronger substances has existed for decades. Studies suggest that this transition is real. Educating youths and identifying treatment options can help them avoid and overcome drug use.

Gateway drugs are substances that, when consumed, give way to harder, more dangerous drugs. These milder substances, such as nicotine or alcohol, are believed to open the door to drugs such as meth, heroin and cocaine, which can lead to addiction.

Marijuana, alcohol, nicotine and other gateway drugs boost dopamine levels, which increases pleasure. The dopamine boost caused by gateway drugs during adolescence makes the brain release less dopamine during adulthood. This leads people to seek harder drugs that cause more dramatic dopamine releases, according to the gateway drug theory.
