 (3) In 2002 and 2003 seizures of cannabis products cannot be broken down by substance; 57794 seizures of all cannabis products were made in 2002, and 67443 in 2003. 

 (4) Data include number of seizures of herbal cannabis, cannabis resin, cannabis plants and cannabis seeds. 

 (5) The value for 1995 includes cannabis seeds.
