Figure 1 An overview of the study design and testing panel results are shown. The individual number of results is represented by N, and the value in parenthesis is the number of unique patients. Cannabinoids screening results are represented as tetrahydrocannabinol positive and tetrahydrocannabinol negative. THC = tetrahydrocannabinol.

Figure 2 For all panels, results obtained in the pre- and post-marijuana legalization periods are shown. Values within the bars are percentages, and N represents the number of individual results. Results were classified by treatment location (cancer/sickle cell, pain, or primary/secondary clinics). Panel (A) indicates cannabinoid screening results, (B) overall compliance rate, and (C) results stratified by positive or negative cannabinoids screen.
