| NOTE: Marijuana includes hashish usage for 1996 and later years. Data for 1999 and later years were gathered using Computer Assisted Interviewing (CAI) and may not be directly comparable to previous years. Because of survey improvements in 2002, the 2002 data constitute a new baseline for tracking trends. Valid trend comparisons can be made for 1982 through 1998, 1999 through 2001, and 2002 through 2008. Standard errors appear in parentheses. | ||||||||||||||||||||
