As if there aren't weedsmokers now? The next logical point to hit is "if it's legalized, then everyone will start doing it."
1) If heroine were legal, would you do it? The point is, people don't decide to do things simply because they're legal.
2) Show me any time in history when the use of an item increased after its prohibition ended. When alcohol prohibition began, alcohol use increased. When alcohol prohibition ended, alcohol use slowly decreased. Amsterdam did not experience an increase in weedsmokers when they legalized.
