Yes, just taking canibis doesn't mean you will wake up one day and think "oo I think I'll try some crack", it is the dealers of the canibis and the mixing with people who use canibis and other drugs that leads to the progression onto harder things.
Holland's drug use experiment went seriously wrong though in that park didn't it?
