Hi
Saturday July 31 2010 1) It was an Irishman who first introduced cannabis to western medicine. William Brooke O'Shaughnessy, a doctor, discovered the drug's purported medicinal qualities after an experiment in India in 1830. 2) In America, 14 states and the District of Columbia allow the use of marijuana for medicinal purposes. 3) Under the Misuse of Drugs Act, possession of cannabis in Ireland can lead to a fine -- or imprisonment of up to a year following the third offence. 4) In Humboldt County in California -- a coastline town that grows cannabis -- the "average indoor grower" can earn up to $40,000 every two-and-a-half months. 5) On average nearly one million people are arrested in the United States each year on marijuana offences.
