National panel backs easing marijuana penalties with mixed reaction
The National Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse urges ending prosecutions for private marijuana use while keeping penalties for growing or selling. Officials including Anslinger criticize the plan as dangerous. supporters like Walter Richter call it sane and humane and argue it frees police to tackle hard drugs. San Francisco’s Undersheriff Reuben Greenberg backs restricting use without full illegality, while Alabama's W L Allen opposes the report. President Nixon received the findings without comment. Separately, Newark High School Choir schedules Easter Concerts across three churches with Dan Sharp directing at West Lisbon, Newark Lutheran and Helmar Lutheran.
