...possessing hashish. Instead of cringing in embarrassment, Samuels called a family confab, took his children's advice and came out for liberalized marijuana laws. (Last week the charges against Howie were dropped.) Something similar befell Oregon's Republican Governor Tom McCall, whose son Sam, now 20, has battled heroin addiction since the age of 15. McCall still takes a dim view of all drugs. But now he feels "charitable" toward draft resisters and recently blasted Oregonians for refusing to lower the voting age to 19. He called the refusal a "tremendous victory for the S.D.S." Until recently, Ohio's Republican...
...balance of payments is $300 million in the red. U.S. economic aid dropped from $237 million in 1963 to $40 million last year, and promises to go even lower unless Turkey shows greater willingness to force its farmers out of the profitable business of growing poppies for opium and heroin.

To slow one aspect of this lethal trade the committee members are studying the possibility of new legislation to control the sale of paraphernalia, including quota systems for the sale of heroin additives. In an attempt to help, the United States Envelope Co. of Springfield, Mass., which manufactures glassine envelopes, last week announced that...
...time each year, Kaplan notes that the busts have not decreased use of the drug. The law has little effect on the unstable and heedless users who are most likely to become serious marijuana abusers or go on to hard drugs. By lumping marijuana with hallucinogens, amphetamines, barbiturates and heroin, in fact, the law encourages young people to distrust warnings about those far more perilous substances. Pot prohibition gives sporadic users the stigma of criminal records and makes young people cynical about law in general...
