Question

marijuana is called a ___ drug, which means the use of marijuana can lead to harder drugs. use the following word bank (spelling counts!): getaway / relaxing / gateway / stress relieving

Explanation:

The term "gateway drug" refers to a drug whose use is thought to lead to the use of more dangerous or "harder" drugs. Among the word bank options, "gateway" fits this definition as marijuana is often referred to as a gateway drug because its use can potentially lead to using harder drugs. "Getaway" is unrelated, "relaxing" and "stress relieving" describe effects but not the concept of leading to harder drugs.

Answer:

gateway
