Growth of cannabis - Time to have an informed debate

There has been an explosion in cannabis cultivation in this country.

Last year 26,531 plants were seized in 579 premises.

These finds were often in remote areas, which should be particularly alarming because there have been so many discoveries, stretching from Skibbereen in the South-West of the country to Collon, Co Louth, in the North-East. How much is growing undetected?
