" (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."

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.
