Abstract
Summary: A randomized response technique was used in parallel with direct questioning on the (illegal) usage of marihuana in a population survey of Canberra. Estimates of usage from the randomized questions were much lower than those obtained directly. A number of possible explanations for these paradoxical findings are considered.Keywords
