Pot report at a glance
Washington AP summarizes findings from the National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse. Marijuana does not kill brain cells or cause birth defects, is not physically addictive, and does not reliably lead to harder drugs. About 24 million have tried it, 8.3 million still use, with 500000 smoking daily. Recommendations urge decriminalizing private use or possession of one ounce or less, keeping felony penalties for sale or intent to sell, and penalizing driving under marijuana influence with up to one year in jail, $1000 fine, and 180 day license suspension.
