Notes.

^aMedical and non-medical cannabis legalization states/territories include Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, Montana, New Mexico, Nevada, Oregon, Washington, and District of Columbia.

^bMedical cannabis legalization only states/territories were Hawaii, Maryland, Minnesota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Puerto Rico, Connecticut, and New York. New York legalized non-medical cannabis on March 31, 2021 and Connecticut legalized non-medical cannabis on June 22, 2021, which occurred during the data collection period. Our data included 21 packages from New York collected prior to March 31, 2021 and 5 packages from New York collected between May 2 and May 24, 2021. There three packages from Connecticut in this data and they were collected prior to legalization. We considered that the New York and Connecticut legalizations of non-medical cannabis were not fully implemented during the study period and therefore coded packages from New York and Connecticut as medical cannabis legalization only states.

^climited cannabis legalization states were South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Wisconsin.
