Other countries that have decriminalized drugs, such as Amsterdam, actually have experienced a decrease in drug use rates. One can't say for certain if that would necessarily be the case with the states. I doubt that usage rates would get out of control, they might see an increase at first, but after being legal for awhile, drugs will just become another part of our culture. Doing drugs would be like having the occasional beer.
