Quoting from Ramrod's "Australian" link:

'A spokesman for National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre, Paul Dillon, said: "The problem with a piece of research like this is it can be hijacked by people who would say one puff of cannabis will lead you straight to other drugs."'

And that, I think, says a lot...
