Pqssible legislation to prov- ide Tor "mandatory treatment instead of mandatory incar- ceration' was being looked at, he said after a panel discussion on the use of narcotics. The Minister stated no dec- ision had been made, as yet, but he saw enforced treat- ment as an "essential feature of a method to control the problem of chemical depend- ency." "We are in the shadow of the McRuer Report and how this can be done with- out offending individual lib- erty, is a different matter," Dr. Dymond said. The Minister said no pu- nitive measures against drug users could ease the narcotic problem. LAWS USELESS "All the laws on the face of the earth are useless. No legislation is ever able to cut down the use of drugs," he said. Co Dr. Dymond stated, how- ever, that he did support vig- orous laws against drug ped- dlers and pushers. He told the panel drugs were widely used in Ontario and were causing his depart- ment a great deal of worry. "The result of a recent study in Toronto was so start- ling that I said 'You have to be kidding' when it reached my desk," he said. The figures had been check- ed and were found to be accurate. "Our young people are trying to tell us something or ask something, .and we are not getting through to them," Dr. Dymond told the audience of adults and teen- .agers. Dr. Dymond quoted from a Department of Health study of more than 6,400 Toronto students from Grades 7 to 13, in which the young people were asked about their use of various drugs in the last six months. Nearly half had used alco- hol, and over one-third had smoked at least one cigar- ette a -week. Over seven per cent had used amphetamines such as "speed," and nearly as many had used pot. Almost six per cent had sniffed glue, and almost five per cent had used LSD or other hallucinogens.

The Minister was chal- lenged by a Port Perry high school student, 18 year old Bill Taylor, a member of the panel, who asked if there was| any proof that marijuana was addictive. The doctor stated there was no conclusive research but enough findings to indicate many marijuana users turn to addictive drugs. He was backed up by Whitby Police Chief William Pilkington, the former head of Metro's morality squad, who said a study had shown 37 out of 200 marijuana smokers were now "shooting heroin." 8 "You cannot convince police officers that marijuana is not included in the world of dope,' the chief said. The high school student argued that the use of mari- juana by teen-agers did not come from curosity, but was th thgresult of torment with- in your own home." He said he had not smoked marijuana himself, but was present when others did. He knew 20 teenagers in the Port Perry area who had tried marijuana and six or seven others. who smoke it regularly : Honeyda W. IL The annual meeting of Honeydale.
