One could ask every politician in these Houses if they have used drugs and they would lie because of the stigma and prohibition. If we were to remove prohibition, we would see an increase in the figure because people will not feel they need to lie because they feel like criminals. Half of the Members of the Houses probably use drugs, but they are not going to say it.
