The only comparable case I can think of is Prohibition. Drinking did not go down then, did it? Did it increase when alcohol became legal again? Again, I don't think so.
As to the marijuana in the Netherlands, anecdotal evidence suggests that the increase was related to tourist use, not resident use. If you find the study, I would like to read it. :)
