Note. All values are means and standard deviations unless otherwise noted. P-values are based on ANOVA main effects and interactions for continuous variables and on logistic regression main effects or interactions for categorical variables, where

As for the SCID diagnoses, significance and effect sizes could not be estimated due to most diagnoses being specific to only some of the groups (i.e., quasi-complete separation issues in logistic models). Effect sizes (ES) are Cohen’s d for continuous variables and odds ratios for categorical variables CON healthy controls, MJ marijuana users without lifetime MDD, MDD non-users with lifetime MDD, MDD+MJ MJ users with lifetime MDD, FSIQ(WTAR) full-scale IQ, as estimated by the Wechsler Test of Adult Reading, AUDIT Alcohol Use Disorder Identification Test, TLFB time-line follow-back, MASQ Mood and Anxiety Symptom Questionnaire

MASQ was completed by 32 CON and 21 MJ because the questionnaire was introduced later in the study protocol
