Federal agent Roy J Darling said the measure would enable action against dealers and addicts, with penalties up to five years in prison or fines up to $2000 for first offenses and stricter terms for subsequent violations. The law bans possession and distribution of narcotics, with exemptions for licensed medical personnel, and grants district attorneys injunctive power over relevant locations.
