CI confidence interval, HR hazard ratio, OR odds ratio, IRR incident rate ratio

* Adjusting for level of cannabis use at baseline and whether in the pilot study

† Additionally adjusting for baseline predictors of missingness. These are:

Time to admission, number of admissions, at least one admission: any work or study

Urine positive 3 months, PANSS positive 3 months, PANSS negative 3 months, any work or study 3 months, number of days cannabis use 3 months: exempt from work due to disability

Urine positive 18 months: any work or study

PANSS positive 18 months, PANSS negative 18 months, any work or study 18 months, number of days cannabis use 18 months: voluntary work
