Does cannabis consumption lead to other drug use?

There is limited evidence that suggests cannabis consumption is a “gateway drug,” likely to precede the use of other legal and illegal substances and the development of addiction to other substances. The majority of people who consume cannabis do not go on to use other substances, such as stimulants or opioids.
