While expressing personal misgivings about the existing criminal penalties for marijuana, he said that any move to lessen the penalties might well be interpreted as a sign that marijuana is safe. That would be unwise, he said, in light of the contents of a 193-page report, Marijuana and Health, compiled by the Department of Health, Education and Welfare and presented last week to Congress.
