[James E. Talmage journal] "The results of our work in research upon Narcotics has been tolerably satisfactory. We utilized my friend referred to above, with his Hashish eating experience â and find four or five others whom he knows have also an experience upon the subject. But the effects experienced by the different ones are so widely different that we can scarcely draw a conclusion. The opium habit is well explained by books, and the bad after effects of the same are sufficiently appalling to keep down experimentation upon the subject, But the ill effects are reported very low in the Hashish or Hemp administration; and we have concluded to try effect of small does upon ourselves."
