The remainder of the results focus on 2010 data. There were 2 million DALYs attributable to cannabis dependence in 2010, all YLDs. This accounted for 12.5% of YLDs attributable to illicit drug use and 0.27% (0.17-0.4%) of global all-cause YLDs. The majority of cannabis dependence YLDs occurred between 20 and 24 years (33.5% of cannabis dependence YLDs). In males this age group accounted for 64.3% of cannabis dependence YLDs. Figure 3 presents YLDs by age and sex.
