<<I expect that many people who favor legalizing marijuana have used it. After all, something like 80% have tried it at least once -- and most of the other 20% are lying.>>

This report uses different numbers:

<<Not insignificantly, the 1992 Household survey estimated that some 69 million Americans have, at some time in their life, tried marijuana. This is approximately 33% or about one out of every three Americans. A vast number of these, however, have only used marijuana once or twice, and this must be borne in mind when examining this statistic.>>

Other data in the report quoted from here suggest higher percentages of at-some-time-in-their-life users.
