Notes: Min. = minimum potency recorded; Max. = maximum potency recorded; Ave. = average potency recorded. Data were not available in 2004 for the unlisted EU Member States, Norway and Romania. (1) Many seizures were performed on trains coming from the Netherlands. Presumably, seized herbal cannabis is to a large extent 'nederwiet' (explaining the high average potency). (2) The value reported as average is actually the median. (3) Netherlands: Cannabis resin refers to imported cannabis resin; herbal cannabis refers to imported herbal cannabis. There is also data available for locally produced herbal cannabis ('nederwiet'): sample size 61; minimum 8.9 %; maximum 28.8 %; average 17.7 %. (4) The value reported as average is actually the weighted mean. (5) Data refer to England and Wales only. See also 'General notes for interpreting data' on the Explanatory notes and help page.
