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.
