G. A.BENTLEY* THROUGHOUT history man has used a variety of drugs to produce plea surable mental effects, and amongst these "satisfaction poisons" prepara tions of the cannabis plant have a most respectable antiquity. It has been used in China for at least 3000 years, and in India and the Middle East also there are reports of its use for many centuries. In the Odyssey, Homer recounts how Helen of Troy, in order to banish sorrow from her guests, slipped a drug into the drinking bowl, and it is not unlikely that this was a preparation of cannabis.

But despite its widespread and prolonged usage there is still a great deal of disagreement about the dangers of this drug.
