If you speak to youngish adults these days, most admit they have had a period of smoking it in their teenage/early 20's and never smoked it since. Whereas, they're all still drinking alchohol..

But the first drug most people start with is alcohol! Then some may start smoking tobacco, then some may start on a bit of cannabis! Then some may try some heroin! But alcohol or tobacco may be their first drug.
Recalling my first drink of alcohol - it wasn't nice and is now an aquired taste but back then you do it because it's socially expected/ and because of peer-group pressure! Likewise my first cigarettes were gut wrenching, again you get used to it!
That's a good point katex, that a lot of people do smoke cannabis in late teens early 20's then stop. But carry on drinking alcohol!
