Weighted proportion of cannabis users (95% CI)*
Frequency of use
 Less frequent 1457 29.5 (27.3–31.7)
 More frequent 3153 70.5 (68.3–72.7)
Primary method of consumption
 Smoke 3640 76.3 (74.3–78.4)

*

Weighted proportions and 95% confidence intervals were calculated in consideration of the complex sampling design of the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System survey

We defined less frequent use as consumption of cannabis ≤ 4 times per month (≤ 1 time per week), and more frequent use as consumption of cannabis > 4 times per month (> 1 time per week).
