CAPITOL ANALYSIS

Marijuana Problem Embarassing Its Way into Albany Legislature

By FRANCES TORREY Cuyler News Service

ALBANY — Now that a number of prominent people, including the children of politicians and community leaders have been arrested for the possession of marijuana, the problem is becoming em­barrassing so something is finally being done about it.

Bills have been introduced in the State Legislature to reduce the penalties for the use of the drug, and to establish a com­mission to study the problem. One state senator has even called for a "moritotium" on the en­forcement of the laws regarding the use of a small amount of the drug.

Little or nothing is being done on the state level, however, about the killer drugs — like heroin.

This is a situation, after all, which affects a different segment of society. Heroin users are generally from ghetto areas, so their situation doesn't enjoy the publicity brought by news-worthy people.

While there may be some doubt about the effects of "pot", there

is little doubt about the effect of heroin. It can be fatal and it is not restricted to ghetto areas. In 1968 it was fatal to 900 people in New York City alone.

This figure does not include deaths resulting from murders committed by addicts seeking to fulfill their great need. Nor does it include the numerous amount of other crimes — like prostitution and stealing — which have also been committed by addicts who need money for drugs.

The program proposed by the federal government on drug control makes much more sense than the state's idea to merely lessen the penalties for using marijuana. The federal program includes a crack-down on the "hard" drug traffic.

If the bills which have been introduced in the State Legislature a re passed possession of marijuana would be an offense instead of a crime, and punishable by fine only.

And if should be noted here that the marijuana user is not physically addicted^ and it is questionable whether he is-even

mentally addicted. So he is merely disregarding the law?

through his own personal preference.

The heroin user, on the other hand, who is addicted both mentally and physically, and must support his habit, can receive the same penalty for using the drug, which can be a first degree felony, as the person who sold it to him — 25 years to life imprisonment.

Drug addiction, like mental illness, is not a crime. It is a sickness. Yet someone who is addicted can spend the rest of his life in prison.

But the "pusher", or "dealer", as he's commonly known, who manages to "hook" thousands of people a year, including un­suspecting school children, can receive the same sentence. And he deals out death, prostitution, robbery, living horror and despair.

In fact, if the crime of selling he has committed constitutes only a Class D Felony in the fourth degree, the sentence is two and one-third to seven years in jail. It's not much of a sentence for a murderer.

grand larceny in satisfaction of an indictment charging him with 10 counts of possession of a forged instrument, second degree; nine counts of petit larceny and one count of grand larceny.

Moore was remanded to county jail in lieu of $1,000 bail. He is to be sentenced Feb. 27.

District Attorney Robert E. Jones presented all five cases. Public Defender James J. Woods represented the defendants-.
