Cannabis Solution


As many times as I've seen this, I always enjoy it. Did anyone else notice that when Hilary Brooke gives Holmes the drug before hypnotizing him it is a cannabis solution from the East as she explains? Fascinating.

I just caught Woman in Green and noticed this also. Hilary Brooke describes the potion as "cannabis ... " followed by some Latin sounding technical phrases that I couldn't quite make out. Pretty advanced stuff for 1945. Interesting it got past the censors.

She called it Cannabis japonica.

Typically the term japonica references the origination or recognition of the species within Japan.
