Houston senior
charged for not
assisting officer
Associated Press
HOUSTON — A high school
senior, charged under a little-used
city ordinance with failing to assist a
police officer, has pleaded innocent.
No trial date has been set for Erik
Mrok, 18, who was charged Jan. 26
after Officer V. E. Woolley said he
failed to respond to the officer’s call
for help in subduing a suspect.
Mrok said he did not know for sure
that Woolley, who was not in un
iform, was a policeman. Mrok, his
mother and sister, came upon Wool-
ley in a shopping center parking lot
while he was trying to subdue a
female shoplifting suspect.

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

“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. ”
