B. O'Shaughnessy, M.D. is a scientific publication written in the early 19th century. The book discusses the properties of cannabis indica, particularly its effects on the animal system in health and its medicinal use in treating conditions like tetanus and convulsive diseases. O'Shaughnessy, a military physician employed by the Bengal Army, brings forth a detailed examination of the historical, botanical, and clinical aspects of cannabis, presenting it as a valuable substance in medicine. The text is structured into several sections, covering various dimensions of the Indian hemp. O'Shaughnessy outlines its botanical characteristics, chemical properties, and traditional uses in different cultures, particularly in India where hemp is widely utilized for both recreational and medicinal purposes. He presents a series of experiments conducted on animals and humans to showcase the drug's anti-convulsive properties and its potential in alleviating severe conditions such as tetanus and hydrophobia. Throughout the book, O'Shaughnessy emphasizes careful dosage and highlights both the therapeutic potential and the risks associated with hemp use, ultimately advocating for further research into its applications within Western medicine.
