Marijuana Penalty May Be Trimmed
The draft federal criminal code would cut the maximum penalty for simple marijuana possession for personal use from one to 20 days. The proposals, stemming from the Commission chaired by Vice President Johnson, include many technical changes and some major, controversial shifts such as appellate review of sentences, a ban on disseminating obscene material to minors, and redefining statutory rape to cover a 21 year old with a 14 year old. A scaled down compensation bill for victims of federal crimes is included, along with a restoration option for the death penalty in certain cases and a secrecy act debate tied to the handling of classified information.

Two years after trading suburbia for country living, the Koellings insist they are healthier and happier. They grow their own food, make catsup from homegrown tomatoes, spin wool from their sheep, and knit sweaters.
