The Penington Institute’s CEO John Ryan says cannabis has become an integral part of the criminal economy, and he contends that the drug is a health problem rather than a law and order problem. Ryan argues that the use of cannabis should be regulated rather than prohibited, in order to undermine the criminal market. The Pennington Institute, which advocates drug reform, has released a report which calls for the creation of a regulated cannabis market which would allow adult users to buy the drug from controlled access points; this would ensure that users had access to cannabis that is free of contaminants.
