The European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction says the THC content of cannabis resin is now on average between 20% and 28% – almost twice that of cannabis flower.
Its annual trends and development report draws on information provided by EU member states, as well as Turkey and Norway, and presents a top-level overview of the drugs phenomenon in Europe, covering everything from supply to use and public health issues as well as narcotic policy and responses.
Herbal cannabis and cannabis resin accounted for the largest number of reported EU drug seizures in 2019 at 37% and 36% respectively.
Among the 24 EU member states participating in the 2019 European School Survey Project on Alcohol and Other Drugs , the prevalence of cannabis use amongst students aged 15 and 16 ranged from 7% to 23%, with a weighted average of 17.3%.
In 2019, EU Member States reported 326 000 seizures of cannabis resin amounting to 465 tonnes, and 313,000 seizures of herbal cannabis amounting to 148 tonnes.
Cannabis remains illegal in most countries so please reference your local laws in relation to medical or recreational use.
