AMA opposes legal pot but says penalties harsh
The American Medical Association rejected legalization and called marijuana a dangerous drug while criticizing penalties as harsh and unrealistic. The AMA urged treating first and second offenses similar to traffic violations and warned of mental dependence and social harms from marijuana. The group elected Dr. Gerald Dorman as president-elect for 1969 and emphasized the need for further research and lawful access for study.
