The linked article is available in this thread and you cited the research yourself.

The linked article does NOT support your claim that "there is a much much higher correlation between pot use and cocaine use than there is between alcohol use and cocaine use." It shows comparable correlations:

Children who drink are 50 times more likely to use cocaine than non-drinkers.

Kids who smoke pot are 85 times more likely to use cocaine than non pot-smokers.

Sorry, but 85 times and 50 times are nowhere near comparable.
