Yes, but this does *not* mean there's a logical connection between the usage of cannabis and harder drugs.
The dealer is only interested in keeping their market going and getting a bigger profit, so it's in their interest to push harder/ more addictive drugs.
However were cannabis to be decriminalised and available as in Holland *AND* that hard drug usage be treated as a *medical* rather than a *criminal* matter with detox programmes available to hard drug users, also as in Holland, I think the number of people who subsequently get hooked on hard drugs would drop.
