My experience as a statistician with a background in public health academia is thar most do not. While any individual who uses Marijuana has a heightened risk to other drug use (though a link to heavy alcohol use is more common) the vast majority of Marijuana users do not go on to harder drug use.
Whatever the averages are the pocket of drug use in my community has caused violence, drug abuse, and mental slowing. Even light uses causes people to slow mentally. There are a lot of problems besides using hard drugs. It's better to just stay clean. It's not worth it.
