My point is, the type of person who feels they need to bend their minds with drugs will do it, regardless of wether it legal or not. Drinking and smoking are part of the culture, like football and apple pie (not a very good comparisan). They are normal. Drugs, even if they become legal will never be seen as normal. So the same stigma will go along with those who use once it legal. So, it really is a mistaken statement to say that more people will use drugs because they are legal. The only thing that really changes about the situation is that the user is no longer a criminal. He'll still be seen as a druggie. So those that do not mind this already use, and will use in the future. This hardly applies to all people.

Exactly the reason there are no strip clubs in the relatively small town I live in.

It would be perfectly legal to open one, but no one ever has.

Name one product on the shelves at a store that you would be seen as an outcast for buying? Seeing it day after day normalizes it. Why do you think that the homosexuals make all these propaganda movies? You see it over and over again, and soon some people start thinking, what is so bad about it. Now they are trying to do it with pedophilia in movies like L.I.E. Normalizing it is the goal. And legalization ultimately does that for drugs.
