NTarihuana is weed used by people
Of the lower class and sometimes by
soldirrs, but those who make larger
use of 1t are prisoners sentenced to
long terms. The use of the weed and
its sale. especially in barracks and
prisons. nre very severely punished. vet
1t has many adopts. and Indian women
cultivate it because they sell il ut ratb.
or high prices.
The dry leaves OF mnrihuana, alone
or mixed with tobacco, make the smok-
or wilder than wild beast. 1t is said
that Immediately after the first three or
four drafts of smoke smokers begin to
feel slight headache: then they see
everything moving. and finally they
lose all control of their mental facul-
ties. Everything, the smokers say,
takes the shape of monster, nnd men
look like devils. They begin to fight,
and of course everything smashed is n
monster killed" But there are i'm
aginary beings whom the wild man
cannot kill, and these inspire fear until
the man is panic stricken and runs.
Not long ago n man who had smoked
a marihunnn cigarette attacked and
killed n policeman and badly wounded
three others. Six policemen were need

There are other plants equally dan

plant boiled and drunk rs ten will

There Is in the state of Afichoacan
another plant the effects of which upon
the human organism are very curious.
The plant grows wildly in some parts
Of Michoacan. and natives have OBJ
served that whenever they traverse II
field where there were many Of such
plants they lose all notion OF places.
For this reason when Il person reaches
a place where there are many of these
plants he forgcts whore he is going,
where the place is and even where he
Is and what he IS dung there 1t takes
from three to four hours for person
affected by the smell Of the plant to re-
cover the full control Of his mental fac
ulties.
Another very curious plant is the one
called de las carreras in some places
where it grows. When person drinks
a brew of the leaves or seeds Of the
plant he feels an impulse to run and
will run until lie drops dead or exhaust
