Jacinda Ardern just revealed whether she's ever smoked weed before!

With the cannabis referendum set to be voted on by the New Zealand public next year, it's obviously still illegal in Aotearoa. 

So, with that in mind, The New Zealand Herald set out to find out whether the people running our country, the MPs, have ever used the Class C drug. 

Our Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern gave a bit of a cryptic answer, but left it up to Kiwis to make up their mind on whether she had, or hadn't

JACINDA ARDERN, PRIME MINISTER
"I've openly acknowledged in the many times that I've been questioned as a Member of Parliament , and which most Members of Parliament would be asked exactly the same thing, I was raised Mormon and then I was not Mormon. I let other people determine what that means."

The Herald also made sure to ask other Members of Parliament to get their response too. Here's what they had to say when asked if they'd ever smoked weed before. There are some pretty crack-up answers!
