Genotype data are presented as percentage.
CAST, Cannabis abuse screening test—CAST Score of 1 or more = 1, CAST Score of 0 = 0 (having still used cannabis within the last 12 months).
Frequency of cannabis use, 4+ times per week = 1, 2–3 times per week = 0.
≥1 day ‘Binge drinking‘– participants were asked whether they spent a great deal of their day drinking alcohol over the last 2 years (yes = 1, no =0).
Frequency of alcohol use—drinking 2–3 times per week = 1, monthly ≥0.
PGSI, Problem gambling severity index—Problematic gambling exhibited in the past = 1, non-problem or no gambling in the past year = 0.
Padd, P-value for addictive effect (C/C = 0, C/G = 1, G/G = 2).
