Are you sure that a lie about such illegal drug use, if later discovered by the USG, can no longer be used to undermine the immigration and even naturalization status of persons admitted into the US and/or whose US immigration/citizenship status was adjusted after knowingly falsifying a response to such question during a verbal or written migration/immigration/naturalization application process?

I would say it’s a bad idea to lie and it’s a better idea to stick to the truth or to respond without answering the question. Even as I have no illegal drug use history, my response is “I have no criminal drug use history.” The response of “No criminal drug record” should work for others regardless of their history, as long as there is no criminal record of such use.
