Note(s):
  • Data for the first half of 2019 represent combined data from the first and second quarters of 2019.
  • The three current use estimates differ (slightly) from corresponding estimates of current use presented in Table 1 because respondents were required to provide non-missing, valid responses to both the cannabis use in the past three months and lifetime use questions.
