...barriers of prejudice and misunderstanding when it comes to racial matters. These exist primarily through ignorance of the way in which other people live, work and worship. Television seems to me to be an ideal way of transmitting knowledge and information to millions of people in a relatively painless fashion.

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...
