Summary

Marihuana Control Act - Amends the Controlled Substances Act to decriminalize (1) the possession of not more than one ounce of marihuana; and (2) the transfer of such amount without profit and for private use. Imposes a civil fine of not more than $100 for such transfer or possession. Permits the Attorney General of the United States to serve a written notice or warning instead of initiating proceedings for violation of this Act if he believes such warning will adequately serve the public interest. Permits involuntary marihuana intoxication to be raised as a defense to a violation of any Federal law, but not voluntary intoxication.
