204 REPORT OF THE INDIAN HEMP DRUGS COMMISSION, 1893-94. [CH. X

the conditions observed were due to such general causes as poverty or malaria, or
to such special causes as vicious or dissolute habits or even disease, quite apart from
hemp drugs, has been too often forgotten. And the evidence is vague and unreliable.
On the whole, then, it seems best to devote attention to clear and definite issues,
and to discuss under physical effects the alleged causation of specific diseases
like dysentery, bronchitis, and asthma which are frequently mentioned; under
mental effects, the alleged causation of insanity; and under moral effects, the
alleged connection between hemp drugs and crime.
