%X Cannabis use and cannabis regulatory policies recently re-surfaced as noteworthy global research and social media topics, including claims that Mexicans have been sending cannabis and other drug supplies through a porous border into the United States. These circumstances prompted us to conduct an epidemiological test of whether the states bordering Mexico had exceptionally large cannabis incidence rates for 2002¨C2011. The resulting range of cannabis incidence rates disclosed here can serve as 2002¨C2011 benchmark values against which estimates from later years can be compared
