Where Marijuana gains popularity, other drugs will, too. It’s inevitable. It is the RECREATION business, not just the marijuana business, after all.

Demonstrably false. Comparing changes in marijuana use to changes in cocaine use (the first apples-to-apples data I could find at SAMHSA) for each of the 50 states plus D.C. over three different intervals of years, from 21 to 39 states showed trends that were in opposite directions.

And there was no reason to expect your claim to be true, since different drugs have quite different effects.
