I don't agree with your assumption that legalizing drugs makes them more accessable. There will be no new supply of drugs... it's been there all along. If the drugs were decriminalized, people would still have to get them from illegal dealers. Cops spending less time finding users means that they can spend more time finding dealers and stopping deals from going down.
The only valid reasoning about drug use in Mexico going up is the fact that a ton of tourists (who already do drugs in the first place) will now come to Mexico in search of legal drugs. It's the same thing that happened in Amsterdam. The people there that do drugs aren't the people that live there. It's the tourists that come for the cheap thrills.
Your willingness to tell people what they should do with their own bodies frightens me.
