...procedure to detoxify heroin and amphetamine addicts through an unusual therapy combining medical-grade hashish and massage. Humes bases the validity of his technique on some ten years of experience applying the technique in "crash pad clinics" which he ran in cities as diverse as Rome and Princeton, New Jersey. His practice is part of a one-man campaign to return cannabis to the national Pharmacopoeia, the official list of drugs sanctioned for medical uses, from which cannabis was eliminated in 1937 when the Marijuana Tax Act was passed by Congress.

The Salem court where the trial was held found Humes guilty of driving a vehicle without proper registration and without a driver's license...
...empire declined. Sir Joe was sold and Sir Julius the Doctor left too. Even Sir Clyde, whom the scribes had to leave and go to Cleveland. There also sprang up in the land of Jersey a new castle to which the football Giants and the basketball Nets moved. (But perhaps the loss of the Giants was not mourned, for no one liked the owner, cheap King Mara. Besides, the Giants never won anything--they just gave away all the good players...
