Senate Approves Drug Law With Tough Penalties
The measure would reduce some narcotics possession to a misdemeanor with up to one year in jail or a $5,000 fine. It would authorize home raids without notice in narcotics cases, categorize drugs by seriousness, create a marijuana medical effects panel, and allow up to five years and $50,000 fines for certain continuing criminal enterprises. Distinct penalties target distribution for profit, especially for younger recipients, and a new narcotics law heads to the House.
