We report median values, median absolute deviation (MAD), range and significance of the between groups' comparison by mean of Wilcoxon-signed rank test. The years of usage and the age of onset refer to any cannabis use, and the alcohol consumption refers to drinks of 10 g ethanol.
Only one subject declared a weekly alcohol consumption of 80 drinks/week (outlier), all the other subjects ranged between 0 and 20.
