SE=Standard Error
a
calculated by multiplying number of times: per day by 365; per week by 52; per month by 12; and per year by 1. For categories with ranges of response, the average of the endpoints was used. For example, 5-6 times a week was ((5*52)+(6*52))/2. There were 12 people who were missing data on frequency of cannabis use (n=3,689).
b
Illicit drug use includes sedatives/tranquilizers, opioid pain relievers, cocaine, stimulants, club drugs, hallucinogens, inhalants, heroin, and other drug
