"(3)(A) Except as otherwise provided in this subparagraph or in subparagraph (B), any person who violates clause (3)(B) of section 301 (q) shall be imprisoned for not more than one year or fined not more than $1,000, or both. If any person commits such a violation after two prior convictions of him for violation of such clause have become final, he shall be imprisoned for not more than three years or fined not more than $10,000, or both. " (B) In the case of any person who is convicted for the first time of violating a provision of section 301(q) and whose conviction was for violating clause (3)(B) of such section, the court may suspend the imposition or execution of sentence and place such person on probation subject to such conditions as the court may impose and for such period, not to exceed one year, as the court may prescribe. The court may, in its discretion, unconditionally discharge such person from probation prior to the expiration of the maximum period prescribed for such person's probation. Such discharge shall automatically set aside the conviction, and the court shall issue to such person a certificate to that effect. If during the period of his probation such l^erson does not violate any of the conditions of his probation, his conviction shall at the expiration of such period be automatically set aside, and the court shall issue to such person a certificate to that effect." SEC. -1. (a) Section 201(a)(2) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 321(a)(2)) is amended by striking out the period at the end thereof and inserting in lieu thereof the following: "; except that such term includes the Canal Zone for the purposes of sections 201, 301 (i), 301 (p), 301 (q), 302, 303, 304 (other than paragraph (1) of subsection (a)), 307, 510, 511, 702, 703, 704, and 705 as they apply to depressant or stimulant drugs, containers thereof and equipment used ni manufacturing, compounding or processing any such drug.'' (b) Section 304(a) of such Act (21 U.S.C. 334(a)) is amended by inserting "or United States court of a Territory*' after "district court of the United States" wherever these words occur. SEC. 5. I t is the sense of the Congress that, because of the inadequate knowledge on the part of the people of the United States of the substantial adverse effects of misuse of depressant and stimulant drugs, and of other drugs liable to abuse, on the individual, his family, and the community, the highest priority should be given to Federal programs to disseminate information which may be used to educate the public, particularly young persons, regarding the dangers of drug abuse. SEC. 6. The amendments made by this Act shall apply only with respect to violations of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act committed after the date of the enactment of this Act. SEC. 7. The last sentence of Public Law 90-489 is amended to read as follows: "The name of the National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Blindness is hereby changed to the 'National Institute of Neurological Diseases and Stroke'."
