Meh.

The only reason why marijuana is a gateway drug is the fact that the guy selling MJ is also upselling other stuff. Remove the association, and the gateway is non-existent.

It's entirely typical for people who check themselves in for drug treatment to identify marijuana as their "starter" drug. The problem is statistics like that don't mean nearly as much as people want to read into them, because those people are often looking to start doing drugs and marijuana just happens to be the most commonly available. So yea, it can be ID'ed as a "gateway" drug, but then so is tobacco, so is alcohol, so are rx pain killers and so forth.
