1Excludes jurisdictions outside the United States and the District of Columbia.
2"Any illicit drug" indicates use at least once of marijuana/hashish, cocaine (including crack), inhalants, hallucinogens (including PCP and LSD), heroin, or any prescription-type psychotherapeutic used nonmedically.
3The estimated number of users for the United States is the sum of the hierarchical Bayes estimates across all states and the District of Columbia and typically is not equal to the direct sample-weighted estimate for the Nation. The estimated percentage for the United States is the weighted average of the hierarchical Bayes estimates across all states and the District of Columbia, and typically is not equal to the direct sample-weighted estimate for the Nation.
