No One Smoked Sensimilla Back In The Day? 1899 Newspaper Says Neigh.

[t-pain]

You've heard all of the sayings. they didnt know about , nor could they have sensimilla.

 

well thats just plain wrong, ignorant and a lie. the people who first discovered cannabis 10000+ years ago must have learned VERY quickly about sensi.

 

when did the prohibitionists think sensi was discovered? 1970? everything these people say are lies. make them show their sources for their moo poo.

TESTING DRUGS ON ANIMALS.

Dogs Used to Ascertain the Strength

of Hashesh.

From the New Orleans Times-Democrat.

"you've heard the theatrical expression,

'trying It on a dog,' " said a local represen

tative of a great manufacturing drug house.

"It means an experimental performance of

a new play In some small city. If the dog,

otherwise the small city, shows no great

symptoms of distress they venture the

thing In New York. Well, In our line of

business we fWequently 'try It on a dog.'

also on a frog, a rat, a rooster, a guinea

pig and other animals too numerous to

mention. Our trials are literal, not flgura

tive. We make them to ascertain the

strength of certain drugs, which, for some

reason or other, defy chemical analysis.

In such cases we resort to what is called

a physiological test. Suppose, for instance,

we want to find out the strength of a sam

ple of digitalis, which, if in good conidition.

has a stimulating effect on the heart. Tie

experts on the staff of the laboratory at

our works force a drop of the stuff into

the stemach of a small frog, whih Is

then placed in a delicate machine calied a

kymoKral,h that records its heartbeats on

a strip of paper. The digitalis may be per

fectly dead and inert and it may be strong

and active--no chemist could tell the dif

ference--Wut the kymograph gets at the

truth with infallible certainty, and the sam

pie is graded accordingly. The frogs used

are little fellows not over two Inches long.

and they are rather hard to get. Some

time ago we sent the house a consignment

from New Orleans, but they proved to he

too large. Why do we use such smali ones?

Because It takes less of the drug to affect

them. It's merely a matter of economy.

"Some of the other tests are still more

curious." continued the drug man. "and

none queerer than that of ergot. To as

certain its active properties a small quan

tity 1.4 Injected into a full grown rooster.

If the drug is up to standard strength the

comb of the fowl soon begins to turn blue

and eventually becomes almost black. The

power of the particular sample on trial

Is indicata~d by the deepness of the discolor

ation. This test Is the only rellable one

known and is exceedingly valuable, be

cause ergot has a strange trick of occa

sionally losing all Its medicinal properties

without showing the slightest change In

general appearance. 'Ha.sheesh,' which has

figured so extensively In romances of the

orient, is known scientifically as Cannabis

Indica- It is tested on dogs. When the

drug Is all right the dog soon begins to get

'dopy,' staggers in Its walk and eventually

keels over and dreams dreams. The neces

sity testing haheesh grows out of a

very singular fact. As most people know,

It so made from the blossom of Indian

hemp but it Is only the unfertilized female

flower that has any narcotic properties.

The male flowers and the seed-hearing fe

male flowers are absolutely valueless, but

all three look alike to the naked eye. So

does the tincture prepared from them, and.

like the other drugs mentioned, it doesn't

yield to analysis. These tests will give a

fair idea of the modern method of getting

at facts about medicines. They are only
