Robert L. DuPont, director of the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), made headlines recently when he became one of the first Administration officials publicly to recommend a liberalization of marihuana laws. The occasion was a press conference accompanying the release of Marihuana and Health, NIDA's fifth annual report to the Congress on marihuana research. Recently, Science talked with DuPont and asked him to elaborate on those views. DuPont, a 40-year-old Harvard M.D., served as Director of the District of Columbia's Narcotics Treatment Administration from 1970 to 1973, where he conducted a comprehensive program for treatment of heroin addiction. In June 1973, Richard Nixon appointed him director of the White House Special Action Office for Drug Abuse Prevention. He held that position until the office was terminated on 30 June 1975. He has been director of NIDA since September 1973.
罗伯特·L·杜邦（Robert L. DuPont），国家药物滥用研究所（NIDA）主任，最近因成为首位公开建议放宽大麻法律的政府官员之一而成为头条新闻。当时正值《大麻与健康》发布的新闻发布会，这是 NIDA 向国会提交的第五份大麻研究年度报告。最近，《科学》杂志采访了杜邦，并请他详细说明这些观点。杜邦是一位 40 岁的哈佛医学博士，曾于 1970 年至 1973 年担任哥伦比亚特区毒品治疗管理局局长，在那里他开展了一项全面的海洛因成瘾治疗计划。1973 年 6 月，理查德·尼克松（Richard Nixon）任命他为白宫禁毒特别行动办公室主任。他一直担任该职务，直到该办公室于 1975 年 6 月 30 日终止。他自 1973 年 9 月以来一直担任 NIDA 主任。
