  3. aUrine drug screens for cannabis-metabolites were available for a subgroup of participants who were recruited pre-legalization (n = 199). Pre-legalization drug screens were assessed for up to 12 months before study entry, and post-legalization drug screens were assessed for 6 to 12 months post-study entry, ensuring that these results were from the post-legalization period
