AMA opposes legal marijuana but penalties too harsh
The American Medical Association rejected legalization and argued penalties are harsh and unrealistic. Dr. Dana Farnsworth, AMA official, said first and second offenses should resemble traffic violations, while noting no medical consensus on penalties. The AMA named Dr. Gerald Dale Dorman as president-elect and warned that marijuana can lead to mental dependence and drug subculture.
