Notes: Data from the 2017‒2018 BRFSS describe demographics of past-30-day marijuana users by their mode of consumption, for states that fielded marijuana and current e-cigarette use modules. Statistics are sample-weighted and adjusted for survey design. Means code the following missing values as 0: medical marijuana use (0.5%), sex (0.02%), Hispanic (0.6%), education (0.04%), race (1.9%), conventional cigarette use (0.2%), and nicotine e-cigarette use (0.1%).
