The following Friday morning another person was arrested on the same charge while charges were dropped on one of the others. This action follows a raid on a student apartment after more than two months of survellance by University and city police. The arrest came almost a year to the day from similar narcotics charges against other persons In Bowling Green. Another student was also charged with possession or control of narcotics In 1965. Still use of drugs on the Bowling Green campus can be considered a small scale practice In comparison to many other major universities. Even so. It is a serious offense. Both the federal and state governments view the possession and control of drugs as a felony and the punishment Is severe. Under section 3719j09 of Ohio's Revised Code persons found guilty of poss- ession can be fined up to $10,000 and receive not less than two years and not more than 15 years of Imprisonment. Properly so. Addictive drugs are extremely dangerous to a person's physical and mental health. Studies have shown that drugs also can lead to crime and other forms of vice as the addict attempts to keep up his extremely expensive habit. If common sense and awareness of facts is not enough to deter use of them then stiff punishment under the law is probably justified. In many past cases all drugs have been lumped under the single heading of narcotics and users of any drug or narcotic are considered equal partners in crime and art given the same punishment. The truth is not all drugs are the same. Old standbys, which came to light years ago, such as heroine and morphine are of the dangerous and addictive type. Others, like the hallucinogen LSD-25 which pres- ently has the limelight of the press and public can be mentally or physically damaging when used persistently but are not addictive. A third class, which Is by no means complete, can be made up of the most often used drug--marijuana.
