A doctor in Shrewsbury wrote in the British Medical Journal that a young woman had been left giggling and unable to move her legs after sniffing tobacco from a cigarette pouch, and that a local chemist had found cannabis in it. The Times ran it as "Hashish in Tobacco: A Disquieting Case", and an MP demanded that the brand be named and prosecuted. The Government Laboratory tested a number of brands, found no cannabis in any, and judged the chemist's test unreliable; customs concluded that if there had been any hashish, the smoker had added it. The one lasting result was a reliable test for cannabis in tobacco.[1]
