Moderated by LICADD Someone Took the Gateway Off Its Hinges We used to be able to say that marijuana was THE gateway drug, even if our students didn't like to hear it. We spent time working out new metaphors and explanations while legalization upended them all. But over time, a larger change has made the whole exercise pointless - someone took the "gateway" off its hinges. Our students get started with addictions in a dozen ways now. They get Zyns, stay glued to social media, can gamble from anywhere at any time. Healthy habits like exercise can become so commodified that even they become more harmful than helpful. We'll unpack the ways our students begin the path to addiction today, and how we can redirect them.
