Senator
WASHINGTON IUPI) Chairman
James 0. Eastland of the Senate In
ternal Security subcommittee said
yesterday• if the current rate of
marijuana use continues, Americans
may find themselves "saddled with a
large population of semi-zombies."
Eastland, in an introduction to a
report of subcommittee hearings on
marijuana, blamed the news media, in
part, for the increase.
The Mi4issippi Democrat said he
opposed decriminalization of marijuana
but favored more harmony between
states and the federal government on
penalties for its use.
Eastland said information supplied to
his panel suggests the validity of
estimates that 35 million Andericans
have used marijuana at some time, with
more than 10 million regular users.
"If the cannabis epidemic continues to
spread at the rate of the post-Berkeley
period since, 1965, we'may find ourselves
saddled v4t a large population of semi-

he said.
Eastland said it could bring a society
"largely taken over by a 'marijuana
culture a culture motivated by a
desire to escape from reality and by a
consuming lust for self-gratification,
and lacking any higher moral guid
ance.
"The spread of the epidemic has been
facilitated by the fact that most of our
media and most of the academicians
who have been articulate on the subject
have been disposed to look upon
marijuana as a relatively innocuous
drug," Eastland said.
He said a "myth of harmlessness" has
been stimulated by writings that take a
benign attitude toward marijuana.

generous attention whin the media
bestowed on militant drug enthusiasts

Eastland said. "The damage was fur
ther compounded by the virtual blackout
imposed by much of our media at
least until recently on adverse
sc,ientific evidence about the effects of
marijuana."
Eastland said one of the purposes of
the Senate hearings was to correct the
imbalance. "We make no apology
therefore, for the one-sided nature of our
hearings they were deliberately
planned this way."
He said Oregon's law, which treats
possession of small
_amounts of
marijuana as a civil crime, was • "too
permissive," and that he favored one
such as in New Mexico, where a first
offense of possession of one ounce or less
is punishable by a fine of $5O to $lOO and
or• 15 days imprisonment."C)
He said a proposal that suspended
sentences be given users, pushers, and
smalltime traffickers who cooperate
with authorities "merits serious con
sideration."
