Pure balls. Legalizing something desirable certainly does make more people participate in it. How many people habitually drive over 120 mph on the Interstate? How many would if there were no Speed Limits?
I knew at least a dozen people in college who did not do drugs (pot included) simply because the potential ramifications to their future (not just immediate punishment) if they should happen to be so unfortunate to get caught. At least some of these people were ones who quit after making the realization and would have gone back in an instant. Where the hell do you get off claiming legalizing something absolutely won't increase it's use?

You know the easy solution... punish the buyers as well as the sellers. And publicize it. It takes two parties to make a Black Market exchange.
