Values of gray matter density (GMd), volume, and shape were entered into linear regressions with the four measures of marijuana use, yielding the reported r2 and p-values. p < 0.05 uncorrected are in bold; an asterisk indicates that these values met correction for multiple comparisons across four regions (e.g., p < 0.0125).
