Researchers at the Medical School yesterday applauded Carter's authorization of research on the uses of illegal drugs in cancer treatment, including possible employment of heroin as a pain killer...
...launch into an independent, unsponsored research program examining alternative detoxification methods for drug addicts. Humes traces his first "breakthrough" in this endeavor to 1967, when he began operating his first detoxification clinic in Rome. Humes claims to have gotten 125 addicts off their habits, most of them heroin users. However, his initial experimental program came to an abrupt halt in 1967 when police closed down his operation while Humes was away from Rome.

Where you can register, legally, as an addict and the glib talkers can proclaim, "See, heroin itself doesn't do any harm. What's wrong is the social system of a country like America, where the addict is a criminal because he's hooked, and because he's hooked he has to become a criminal." And that's all? I wonder. I think of that...
