Self-reported, nuff said. That is, as these things become more socially acceptable, they're less likely to be under-reported. It would help if they took random hair samples and tested those as a cross reference.
Along the same lines, marijuana is becoming more available (i.e., decriminalized), which is naturally going to increase availability and usage. Hallucinogens are on a similar path.
Your pee might eventually not show traces but your hair is like an elephant, it never forgets.
All that said, I would think there should be some concern for the fact that more and more individuals need such help just to get by. When are we going to address this? Where is the leadership that has the backbone and vision to do so? "Let them smoke weed" isn't cutting it.
