The "slippery slope" fallacy:

   THE SLIPPERY SLOPE ARGUMENT
  
   This argument states that should one event occur, so will other
   harmful events. There is no proof made that the harmful events are
   caused by the first event.
   
   For example:
   
     "If we legalize marijuana, then we would have to legalize crack and
     heroin and we'll have a nation full of drug-addicts on welfare.
     Therefore we cannot legalize marijuana."
