Abstinence noted as self-reported abstinence from cannabis use since the last weekly visit % (n)

Creatinine corrected cannabinoid values are noted as model-based means and associated 95% Confidence intervals adjusted for baseline values.

ƚ

overall treatment difference noted as the model based mean treatment effect during weeks 4–6 adjusted for baseline values.

ǂ

Effect sizes are noted as Cohen’s d and are calculated using adjusted model based mean differences and pooled standard deviations. Partial eta squared values are presented for the overall main effect of treatment adjusted for baseline differences.

*

Notes significant within group changes from study baseline levels (p<.001).

**

Notes significant between group differences in changes from study baseline levels (p<.05).
