Grass safer than booze t and ro lUP h $15, embei only o |soy ege St: BATTALION CLASSIFIED Associated Press WASHINGTON — Don’t fret about their health if your teen-agers are experimenting with marijuana. The majority^ of them are these days and it’s safer than booze or cigaret tes, says Dr. Robert L. DuPont of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. DuPont confesses he smoked pot himself when he was younger and didn’t know better. Not that DuPont, a physician, is a marijuana advocate. Quite the con trary, he told newsmen Thursday. “If it was up to me I wovdd stop use of all of these drugs — marijuana, al cohol and tobacco at the wave of my hand,’’ he said. But kids will be kids, he said, and it’s important for parents “not to get so uptight ’ if their youngsters try pot a few times. The most recent survey shows that for the first time a majority of 53 per cent of youths in the 18 to 25 age group admitted trying marijuana and 12 per cent of the 14 and 15 years old s are current users.

There’s still a lot scientists don’t know about marijuana’s effects on the body’s chemistry and what they do know might be thrown out the window when more potent varieties of marijuana and hashish oil are used, he added. DuPont’s advice to youths is: Don’t take it up if you haven’t al ready because it’s expensive, messy and does pose some health risks. But the hazards are not as serious as cigarettes and alcohol, he said. DuPont said liepersonallyfjj $25 fine rather than jail sentem simple possession of small a of marijuana. That would pm® signal that pot smoking is‘Ifl/6 bited behavior, he said, and a® , nt would he reservedfo® 6 ^ 3 the drug. I ai ; e ■>phy Web. wkevie nide a : onm ers i “Alcohol really does kill people from overdoses,’’ he said, “but it is virtually impossible to die from marijuana. Cigarettes cause cancer and re L spiratory and heart diseases, he ad ded, but marijuana doesn’t even cause bronchitis except among very heavy smokers. The institute’s fifth marijuana report to Congress con tains no evidence it causes perma nent biological harm, he said. If you smoke pot and are deter mined to continue, Dupont said, “use as little as possible and as re sponsibly as possible. ” FRIDAY Eritrean people’s lecture and film will be held at 8 p. m.
