If the WOD went away, would drug use increase? You'd probably see some more occasional tokers, but doubtful there would be much increase in frequent mj users. Pot is available to anyone who wants it. IMO, the WOD is not holding back those who would otherwise be regular users.
I doubt you'd see much change in hard drug use. Again, they're available and affordable to anyone who wants them.
Do you know any law abiding citizens curious to try hard drugs? Me neither.
"Dr. Herbert D. Kleber of the Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, Columbia University, suggests that legalization of cocaine would result in a five- to six-fold increase in cocaine use.20 Dr. Robert DuPont, former director of the National Institute of Drug Abuse agrees, stating that legalization would increase the number of users of cocaine and marijuana to between fifty and sixty million, and the number of heroin users to around ten million.21 Dr. DuPont concludes that when one takes into account the health effects of cocaine, heroin, and marijuana, legalization could result in between 100,000 and 500,000 drug induced deaths each year.22 Further, you cannot legalize cocaine and control the crack epidemic, for users could easily turn the former into the latter."
