How are more people getting introduced to these hard drugs as opposed to before. Is it the availability of marijuana with its legalization is causing people to look at experimenting with harder drugs as pot (and its effects) are normalized?

Evidently much of this coincided with covid. Inflation and costs of living have probably put more into poverty where they are susceptible to ending up in these situations, but I think that's more of a gradual effect. What we're seeing appears rather accelerated.
I think it's just that any drug you take now that's in pill or powder form (molly, cocaine, meth, whatever) is just super powerful or tainted. So if you're doing any of the above you're getting exposed to some pretty addictive and potent blends. There are other factors of course but anything in powder form these days has the risk of taking you for a ride.
