Notes:

Data between brackets refer to the number of cannabis offences for use/possession for use in 2004.    

Data were not available for Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Romania and Slovakia.

Percentages were calculated in different ways according to data available and ways data were originally recorded; for example, percentages may refer to cannabis among all drug mentions (whether alone or with other drugs) in offences for use/possession or to cannabis offences considered as main offences in offences for use/possession.

Turkey: 2002 data refer only to Police data, while after 2002 data refer to all data reported by the main law enforcement authorities (Police, gendarmerie, Customs).
