Marijuana effects . . .
From page one
"NOW, ACCORDING to the theory that says marijuana gives you whatever you want, it can also make you happen dangerous things and happen. But now that people really know about marijuana and the limits of what it does, their expectations are more positive and the risks decrease."
"It's a tranquilizer, that's all it is," he said. "It relaxes you. People like to say it's calm."
E. J. Walaszek, chairman of pharmacology at the KU Medical Center, said he had seen no long-range harmful medical studies on rats that added that studies were still being done.
"IVE SEEN people who are alcoholics, and that's a sad thing. But I've also seen people who are habituated to marijuana, and that's equally as sad. They can't keep their job because they fall asleep in the back while they drink. People regularly are habituated to it and I don't see any difference between that and alcoholism."
Storms disagrees—strongly.
"I think marijuana is just an alternative way to spend your time," he says. "Every minute of the day you have a thousand choices. Will you go to the Union? Will you go to a movie? Will you take a nap? And is it really just another one of those alternatives."
"And it's not a seductive alternative—that somehow we need it necessarily."

Budget . . .
The Med Center subcommittee recommended full funding of a $1.1 million supplemental operation request, of which $633,000 would be for nursing salaries and $447,000 would be for additional hospital operating expenditures. No equipment acquisitions were allowed in the additional funding.
AN ADDITIONAL hospital revenue fund expenditure of 800,000 was recommended to fund a consultant review of third-party payments including charges to and reimbursement from Medicare, Medicaid and Blue Cross.
Rep. William Bunten, R-Topke, said about $1 million a year could be recovered in the program. The Med Center subcommittee also recommended a series of revised general fund expenditures for fiscal 2077 totaling $359 million in program improvements have been delayed.
An allowance of $25,000 for overtime
expenditures in hospital operations also was
released.
The Med Centers' Fiscal 1977 recommendations totaled $74,338,937 $431,264,900
$54,959,937
Chancellor Archie R. Dykes said he was pleased the subcommittee recognized the needs of the hospital. He said the OOE percentage for the Med Center had never been greater than the Lawrence campus in the time he'd been here.
seduced into spending all of their time high rather than doing their studies. It's all in the person's head. The person who wants to get hired, chooses or wants to get hich, chooses to do so."
STORMS SAYS he sees very little use of marijuana that might be called abusive. He asks them to refrain from their time being stolen because they're not really committed to being in school, he said.
"But that's not abuse. That's substitution."
Walaszek said he considered marijuana to be a drug just like alcohol, caffeine or nicotine, although he said he does consider alcohol to be more harmful than marijuana.
He said when he first began lecturing to parents and legislators groups on drugs in the 1980s, he made a radical "for his liberal stance on marijuana use. Now, he says, those same types of groups are the very ones who are supporting legislation to decriminalize
"WHY? IT very simple," Walsaask said.
"As soon as they start putting their kids in jail, the parents are against it. Because their kids are in trouble, the legislators are asking why they are doing what. What are you doing? Why are you bouncing these people for small amounts?"
Storms see the apparent increase of public support for decriminalization of marijuana as a result of the growing number of people who have smoked marijuana and "have found that it doesn't bother them or harm them."
Bill Arnold, associate professor of sociology, attributed society's change in attitudes to the large amount of information encountered amidment about marijuana in recent years.
"I don't think it's an issue any more," he says. "The laws are just slow to change because legislatures are conservative bodies."
"that information has at least moderated their views so that they at least can make the distinction between marijuana and other kinds of drugs," he said.
IF MARLIUANA ever caused any sort of medical problems at the Watkins Memorial
Raymond Schwegler, a physician at Watkins, said that in the 60s there were more problems with drugs in general, especially with such drugs as LSD.
Hospital, that no longer appears to be the case.
Although the debate over the effects of marijuana continues, there is little doubt in
"IN A WAY," said Storms, "I personally am saddened to see marijuana becoming such a widely accepted recreational drug. Society needs it, and society, it really had an impact on people."
"People really started to examine the whole notion of consciousness: What is reality? What isn't reality? And marijuana was the catalyst for that kind of philosophical speculation about reality and consciousness. Now that it's so widely accepted, marijuana is just another recreational device."
