Christopher Yasiejko's Profile

Undaunted by the criticism that followed publication in April of their
report on the adverse effects of marijuana, two Philadelphia
psychiatrists last week strongly reiterated their case. Testifying in
Washington before the Commission on Marijuana and Drug Abuse, Harold
Kolansky and William Moore again insisted that pot can produce serious
emotional disturbance, even psychosis, in young users with no history
of psychiatric illness. This time the opposition was even better
prepared. Seven psychiatrists, all prominent in the drug abuse field,
vigorously denounced the anti-pot report.
