Statistical Parametric Analysis (SPM) was performed using a 1-sample t-test for all subjects across all runs with the contrast of activation during cannabis cues versus baseline activation (n=16). Voxel threshold p=0.001, extent threshold k=30, family-wise corrected p= 0.05. Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) coordinates and effect size (ES; Cohen’s d) correspond to peak voxel in each region. Bold font indicates that BOLD signal intensity (as the measure of activation) in this region was found to be correlated with craving at the threshold of p≤0.05.
