Cannabis resin and cannabis herb seizures made in 1994 are shown by region in figure 11.

In 1994, less than 2 tonnes of liquid cannabis, 1,457.5 tonnes of cannabis herb and 868.3 tonnes of cannabis resin were reported seized.

This is of note since cannabis resin is typically of higher THC content, per unit weight, than cannabis herb.

There is evidence suggesting that trafficking in cannabis resin has increased in recent years compared with trafficking in cannabis herb.

The estimated dry weight of the cannabis herb produced was over 180,000 tonnes.

The pattern of cannabis seizures since 1980, shown in figure 10, suggests that, at the global level, cannabis resin has increased in importance relative to cannabis herb.

While trafficking in cannabis herb still dominates the global situation with regard to trafficking in cannabis, trafficking in cannabis resin has been increasing and indoor cannabis cultivation continues to increase in many developed countries.

25. In 1995, around 80 per cent of the cannabis herb seized in Europe originated in Colombia.

Further investigation of the apparent decline in the amount of cannabis herb seized could prove informative and may reflect law enforcement practices.

With an estimated production capacity of 175,000 tonnes in 1995, South Africa is one of the largest potential producers of cannabis herb.

For cannabis herb, amounts decreased from 5,805 tonnes in 1980 to 3,024 in 1995, and for resin they increased from 171 to 1,059 tonnes.

24. Global seizures of cannabis herb are estimated to have declined from between 4,600 to 3,800 tonnes during 1985 1989 to around 2,400 to 3,000 tonnes during 1990 1993.

Herb woman!

The Netherlands recorded the largest annual seizures of herbal cannabis in Europe in 1995, accounting for 74 per cent of the European total, while Belgium, France, Germany and Norway also seized substantial amounts of cannabis herb, together accounting for a further 20 per cent of the total seized in Europe.

Quick thinking, Herb.

Seizures were distributed among the regions as shown in figure V, with the Americas accounting for 60 per cent of the total seizures of cannabis herb in 1995, followed by Africa (21 per cent) and Europe (12 per cent).

104. Heroin seizures worldwide remained stable in 1995 compared with 1994, although estimated availability decreased slightly, mainly as a result of decreased production in south west Asia. Seizures of both cannabis herb and resin rose significantly compared with 1994.

5. Cannabis type drugs refer to cannabis products such as hashish and marijuana.

Nath's like you were, not Herb.

More speculatively, if such trends in cannabis cultivation continue, it is possible that more competitively priced cannabis grown indoors in developed countries could reduce international trafficking in cannabis and could possibly even have an impact upon cannabis cultivation in the major cannabis exporting countries.

Herb heard you beating on the door.

For your benefit, Dragon Liver Herb Preparation.

I guess I forgot about you, Herb.

Go on home to your kids, Herb.

Angele, could you make some herb tea?

Thou shalt eat the herb of the field.

The proportions of cannabis resin and cannabis seized reflect trafficking from different sources to some extent, with Europe importing a higher proportion of cannabis resin originating in northern Africa.
