Note. PTSD=posttraumatic stress disorder. Other past 30 day drug use excludes cannabis. TLFB=Timeline Followback. This measure is scaled so that 0=no use, 1=a hit, 4=joint, 8=a blunt, thus participants reported using nearly a joint of cannabis daily in the current study. An item regarding using cannabis to help one sleep was created for the current study in which participants rated on a four-point Likert scale (1=Never/Almost Never, 4=Always/Almost Always) how often they use cannabis “To help me fall asleep easier.” The percentage of individuals who reported doing so at least sometimes is reported.
