Meaning what, exactly. Where has the FAA lied to the original poster, and where is the FAA authorized to lie to the original poster about his substance abuse?
Are you trying to muddy the water, or simply steer the conversation to a dead end, and either way, how do you hope to contribute?
The original poster used illegal drugs. The regulation is explicit. There is no surprise, there are no lies, and there is no falsehood here.
Law enforcement has been permitted to use a lie to elicit a confession from a criminal suspect; this has no bearing on the original poster making a correct statement of his drug abuse, or the action of the Administrator relating to that statement.
