a 1994 article in the New England Journal of Medicine stated that it was probable, that if cocaine were legalized, the number of cocaine addicts in America would increase from 2 million to at least 20 million.

And below is the entirety of the "evidence" (I use the term loosely) for that claim. Drug Warriors are aghast when liberty-lovers compare Prohibition to the war on drugs, falsely saying this "equates" alcohol with other drugs - but when it suits their purposes, they're eager to genuinely do such equating.

"There are over 50 million nicotine addicts, 18 million alcoholics or problem drinkers, and fewer than 2 million cocaine addicts in the United States. If cocaine were legally available, it is projected that the number of users would rival that of the other two substances."
