a

Time and Time by Treatment interaction were not predictors in non-longitudinal models.

b

Time by Treatment interaction was not significant (F6,450 = 0.99, p-value =0.43) and was left out of the final model.

c

Time by Treatment interaction was not significant (F6,334 = 1.54, p-value =0.17) and was left out of the final model.

d

Part of the model, but not interpretable. The results must be interpreted through the interaction term.

e

Separate analyses for the PBO an VEN-XR groups to investigate a effect of HAMD on THC urine level creatinine corrected. In the VEN-XR group there was not a significant relationship between HAMD score and THC urine levels; For the PBO group, THC urine levels were significantly associated with HAMD score.
