on weekly cannabis use and 80 studies (1313 data points) from 17 GBD regions reporting on past year cannabis use. We found only three general population cohort studies that reported on the incidence of cannabis use or dependence. We found no epidemiological evidence of elevated mortality risk attributable to cannabis dependence (for full details see[31,39]). The decision was therefore made not to assume elevated mortality for cannabis dependence. Details of the number and location of estimates are presented in Figure S1 and Table S1 .
