When I was at an age when I might have been exposed to drug use there were no sources for drugs and I didn't even know anyone who used anything (except alcohol and tobacco). In later years I have known quite a number of people who tried marijuana. Some continued casual use, very few even tried "hard" drugs. There were those few, although, who tried and got hooked on any kind of drugs they could get their hands on. There were those who became hopless alcoholics without ever trying any other drugs. Of those who quit using marijuana I don't believe that any made that decision because it was against the law. I never saw any connection between alcohol use, marijuana use and "hard" drug abuse. The long term choices seemed to be those of the individuals involved.
