Among individuals with cannabis dependence, 92.2% of Whites, 95.6% of Blacks, 91.9% of Hispanics, 85.5% of NH/PI and 81.6% of AI/AN remitted at some time in their lifetime (log rank test= 3.9, p=0.4). Half of cannabis dependence remissions occurred approximately 6 years after dependence onset among Whites and Blacks, 5 years among Hispanics and NH/PI and 7 years among AI/AN (Figure 4).
