For the most part, I think the demand would be just as high as tobacco. After all, tobacco is unhealthy. Cannabis is not such a destructive habit.
ok dude, all I was getting at was that there are far more people that smoke cigarettes in the world than do marijuana and thats why I said that. As far as people being likely to be more interested in weed if it were legal; I highly doubt that mfqr. Think about it, why is someone more likely to get into marijuana just because it is legal? Nobody I have ever known has decided against first time marijuana use simply because it is illegal. The truth of the matter is that is not really a concern to most people. So indeed, I think you are wrong my friend
