I have smoked cannabis for 20 years and I have never known anyone fall into the "cannabis-to-cocaine pipeline."

Everyone I knew who developed coke problems had drinking problems first. Bar none.

So many guys I knew who were occasional weed smokers in high school started smoking cigarettes in college. That's the real "pipeline" effect of weed: cigarette smoking.

It might be a generational thing. I graduated from college in the '80s.
