"However I doubt it will be legalized and banning alcohol would be incredibly hard" I don't know, I think it's hard to predict. There's a lot of unknown and difficult-to-predict things that can happen to change public opinion in a short time. A good example is the sharp turn public opinion took against racism during the 1960s in the US, or the sharp turns worldwide for and against prohibition in the early 20th century. So it seems like status quo bias to predict that these things will just stay the same indefinitely. "what do you think of marijuana as a stepping stone to heavier drugs?" That's just a myth manufactured by the anti-drug movements. They take the true statistical fact that most "hard drug" users also use marijuana and come to the bogus conclusion that pot somehow contributes to, enables, or causes the hard drug use.
