Federal psychiatrist urges lighter marijuana penalties
Dr. Bertram Brown, director of the National Institute of Mental Health, told reporters that penalties for smoking marijuana should be reduced though science does not support legalization. He cited unanswered questions about brain damage in chronic users and effects on youth, saying current opinion does not justify legalization now. He noted no harm in healthy subjects like a well-educated college student, but warned about possible immediate psychological effects affecting driving.
