Abstract

A Senate subcommittee has tried to implicate the use of marijuana in the My Lai episode. Stirred by this, the mass media have given sensational attention to the use of marijuana by U.S. servicemen in Viet Nam. Reviewing the considerable professional literature on the subject, the author finds that marijuana smoking is a significant problem but not as serious as the mass media seem to imply.
