Description

Here is a detailed description of the comic titled "Marijuana: The Gateway Drug":

Panel 1: A red-haired man is smoking something, with smoke rising into the air around him. The background is split into light pink on the left and darker pink on the right.

Panel 2: The man, still with the same expression, is now facing another character, who has an older appearance, dressed in a suit. The older character, with an inquisitive look, asks, "Say, lad, whatcha smokin' there?" The background transitions to a light blue.

Panel 3: The young man looks a bit sheepish as he holds up a large bag, while the suited man watches him closely. The young man's shirt is green, contrasting with the bag he’s holding.

Panel 4: The young man leans forward intensely to respond, "Your son." The expression on his face is serious, while the older man appears shocked, mouth open in surprise. The background is red, conveying a sense of urgency in the scene.

The overall theme plays on humor and surprise, contrasting expectations about marijuana with the punchline involving family.
