A Roscommon resident, who claims he learned how to grow cannabis from watching YouTube videos, has been jailed for a year.
Roscommon Circuit Court heard that Daivaras Petrauskas told Gardaí he set up a grow house in Boyle to create a supply of cannabis for his personal use.
A total of 72 plants were discovered in the rented house by officers following a search.
The 30-year-old from Lithuania had pleaded guilty to the cultivation of cannabis at an earlier court sitting.
