Proportion of 142 current cannabis users reporting reasons for cannabis use (left ordinate; bars), and medians and quartile ranges (right ordinate; dots and lines) of the degree to which participants reported symptom relief from cannabis (scale of 1 to 10). Reasons for use are nonmutually exclusive and data do not sum to 100%. Not shown: 28% reported use of cannabis products for enjoyment/recreation. Different than symptom-related reasons for use, participants were not asked a follow-up question to rank enjoyment/recreation.
