Sunday supplement Parade and picture magazine Life are among the many mass media publications that have called marijuana laws far too harsh. It is a fine bandwagon to join, and more and more people are joining it. The New Republic, in a two- part series last spring, noted that marijuana was indeed very dangerous, but only because possessing it can get you five or ten years in prison.

His only alternative was to nurse the organization that had developed around him, draw it into City Hall, and keep the local volunteers...
...reasons so many youngsters are taking drugs, I think, is that they have discovered that this is one of those areas about which the older generation has made it a point to lie consistently. It is like the war in Vietnam: the bandwagon just doesn't sell. Statements like those of Farnsworth and Prout do nothing but stroke the sentiments of the elderly and further alienate the young. There are some very good reasons why college students should avoid the drug scenes that so seductively beckon, but the authors of this report haven't managed to touch...
