In a recent article, Barré states that she has discovered the following in her investigations: a/ delinquents use drugs infrequently; b/ however, drug-using delinquents offend more often than non-users; on the whole, however, offences attributable to drug users, particularly users of hard drugs, is far below the statistics occasionally attributed to them (Barré, 2001, 4)

In its effects on individual offenders, the imposition of penalties within the criminal law on occasional users of small quantities of cannabis products and on those who are merely trying out the drug may lead to results which are unreasonable and, from the point of view of prevention, actually negative.
