J. SKELLY WRIGHT, Circuit Judge
(concurring).
I agree with Judge Bazelon that the logic of today’s opinion leads clearly to the conclusion that the federal narcotics laws involved in this case do not *458apply to nontrafficking narcotics addicts in possession only of narcotics for their own use. Since, however, all of appellant’s contentions save that regarding the insanity defense will be available to him on collateral attack, I join in Judge McGowan’s opinion because of the additional contributions it makes toward the resolution of the problem of treating drug addiction in a criminal context.
