It appears the judge who adjudicated the case convicted and sentenced the Alex Obeng Asante like many judicial officials in Ghana do not have a complete grasp of sentencing principles. Simply possessing cannabis in my non-legal opinion does not warrant 10 years custodial sentence.

Community service may be. Unless there was another charge with it, but the possession alone the 10yrs is too much.

This is nonsense! Where were the police and the judge when Rawlings was openly smoking marijuana on top of that military vehicle in 1979? At that time,was the offense not enshrine in the constitution or the criminal code or whatever you may call it? A poor carpenter going to spend the next 10 years for this nonsense? This is incredible, one reason why Ghana will never prosper. The law is made for some group of people but not for others. 'Too nagode'

Bad luck for the carpenter, if he had been arrested smuggling cocaine at KIA, he would be a free man. Yes, the carpenter could not pay his way out of the criminal justice system.

If minor offences like this carry such long prison sentences, Ghana prisons will be overcrowding and overspending. The carpenter needs probation and/or community labor.

I don't get this stupid judge. If he is abreast with time he will know others are even legalizing wee for medicinal and recreational use. How stupid is this judge to sentence someone to 10 yrs in prison. Even man slaughter will not Merritt that sentence. Ghana lawyers need to sit and maybe start the innocent project and see how many people they can help. Hope this case get a national attention it needs.
