The question is how effective they will be at this.

Unlike the government, drug dealers don't have propaganda campaigns to popularize particular drugs. As a matter of fact, with exception of huge inner city areas, there are not many drug "pushers" at all (and they don't "push" pot). The customer seeks out the dealer.
Moreover, the premise of the thread seems to be that we need to keep at least one harmless drug on the illegal side, so people will stop at that. That is absolutely ridiculous. People are more likely to say, "well, I'm breaking the law anyway, I might as well try the other illegal drugs, too. They're probably also harmless."
