The LD score regression analyses revealed a strong and highly significant genetic correlation (rg=0.83, s.e.=0.15, P=1.85 × 10−8) between lifetime cannabis use and lifetime cigarette smoking (based on the Tobacco Alcohol and Genetics consortium31 summary results), implying that SNPs for lifetime cannabis use and lifetime cigarette smoking are highly correlated.
