49 Figure 27: Current potency of hydro, % able to comment, 2004-2011 Source: IDRS participant interviews The majority (71%) of respondents rated bush cannabis potency as medium (58% in 2010) (Figure 28). An equal proportion (7%) rated potency as either high or low as compared to the 9% who rated potency as either high or low in 2010. Figure 28: Current potency of bush, % commented, 2004-2011 Source: IDRS participant interviews Fifty-eight percent of respondents reported stable hydro potency and 67% reported stable bush cannabis potency over the past six months (Figure 29). Twelve percent reported that hydro potency was increasing while only 2% reported a decrease in potency. Slightly more respondents considered that hydro potency fluctuated than did those who believed bush cannabis potency fluctuated (29% for hydro and 25% for bush cannabis). 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 % c o m m e n te d Dont know High Medium Low Fluctuates 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 % c o m m e n te d Dont know High Medium Low Fluctuates
