No connection between cannabis use and crime

I AM not surprised at the anger at the lenience of the sentence handed out
to career criminal Kevin Matthews.

There can be only one reason for locking a person up and that is if he is a
threat to individuals and a threat to society, which Matthews obviously is.
We have a Government and judiciary who are more determined to lock up
harmless cannabis smokers than violent criminals. There are more than
1,000 cannabis-only prisoners in this country. Recent research has shown
there is no real connection between cannabis use and crime other than being
in possession of cannabis itself.
