Notes:                  
Data are not available for some countries.  
For definitions of reports for drug law offences, please refer to [Methods and definitions - Drug law offences] in this Statistical Bulletin.  
(1) Based on number of mentions of cannabis among all drug mentions, whether alone or with other drugs.  
(2) Based on number of offences with cannabis as main drug.  
(3) Among all offences broken down by drug (for some offences, a breakdown by drug is not available).  
(4) Among offences for drug dealing/trafficking, because offences for drug use/possession for use are not criminalised.  
(5) Underestimated proportion since it represents offences for cocaine only - it does not include offences for 'cocaine with other drug(s)'.  
(6) Among persons given a summary fine by the prosecutor or sentenced by a court.
