Data are from the 2001–2002 National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC) survey and the 2012–2013 NESARC-III survey. Prevalences are adjusted for sociodemographic covariates (age, gender, race/ethnicity, education level, marital status, and family income) and pain-by-covariate interactions.

Nonmedical use was defined as cannabis use without a prescription or other than prescribed, for example, to get high.

Frequent use was defined as cannabis use at least three times a week.
