The Head Shop

togster

Can't understand the legality of this place. Friends of mine but a load of legal stimulents in there over xmas. Some "snow" and "smoke". I only tried the smoke which is green like grass but smells funky. It gets you stoned as a coot and is 100% legal.

Just wondering has anyone else heard of the place and how is it legal to sell these things?

Stabshauptmann

there all over Ireland, perfectly legal due to there relative obscurity. Remember, mushrooms were legal untill publicised

Krieg

Don't they try to bring in legislation to ban these things? but legislation is kinda slow so they are on the 'market' for about 2 years until they are banned
My guess anyway

It's their fault magic mushrooms are illegal

Redhairedguy

100% legal bro.

"Smoke" (bless it in times of need) is just herbal and root extracts.

Botany just got cooler!

tman

The pills they sell are dangerous stuff... Double dropped them before thinking I was all hardcore and stuff, but ended up absolutely twisted off of my nut for 12 hours solid (followed by another 30+ without sleep)

...good times...

Well it's now illegal to pick them and take them responsibly and do your research, making them illegal to sell is fine by me.

Has anyone tried this 'smoke' stuff? What's it like.

AngryHippie

yeah It works if you smoke enough of it, but It'l give you an encounter with genghis if ya overdo it, the stoned gets a bit salvia-ish if ya smoke too much.

Banning of mushies not cool btw. Screw you all who disagree. Thai Cubensis were so much fun

Its grand. Hard to smoke though compared to grass. It tastes a bit funky and if you smoke enough you will get stoned as fcuk.

Is it illegal to pick them in Ballybrit racecourse?

The smoke is good alright buy that spice is ****e, as is the pills, gives you a small buzz alright, like you're coming up but you never actually come up and then you're awake for two days

slickmcvic

think headshops are a great idea....the one in dublin is really
busy...I'd much rather see money goin into their hands than
that of a dealers...they dont fund organised crime and you
can have some assurance on what yir gettin...(I don't touch narcotics btw!!)

Hooray for headshops. The more people learn to grow their own ganja, the better the overall quality will be, the less soap bar etc will be passed off as genuine dope, the lower the prices, the less profitability for organised criminals. Plus we gain valuable practical horticultural knowledge which will be handy when the demise of the oil age really starts to bite and we need to be growing our own food. Mass civil disobedience will bring down these illiberal laws within a few years, purely as a matter of shifting demographics/age of population.

Sounds like stoner talk to me...

Overall I prefer Nirvana to the Headshop the staff are much more friendly and have boobs.

Spice is utter ****e, spice gold is ok and Smoke (only available in the headshop) is the best of the lot. It's only good as a last resort though, I'm not a big fan of the high you get off it.

Banning shrooms was just a stupid unnecessary snap decision. You can still buy grow kits in the head shop though. Well worth it, as shrooms are the 2nd best high available after cannabis and a great night in.

Those BZP pills are crap, there just a power pep pill with no buzz. The magic ones have a bit of a buzz and are the best I've tried but still very lame I think people that go on about how ****ed up they got on them are suffering from the placebo effect.

hada

ah yes the headshop.. poked around it a bit in the past.. ended up getting poppers (or video head cleaners as they're called in the states).. actually quite enjoyed the little buzz I got off them. Combined with alcohol i found it worked quite well!...

although I'd be a bit more wary of using poppers now, they surely can't be good for you?.. besides that I would be more in favour of buying from stores such as nirvana, headshop etc because as was noted earlier on, the money isn't going to criminals, or to fund criminally based activities...

Yes but nirvana have a garda camera outside their shop

Never liked that stuff I've given it chance after chance and just don't like the high, if you can call it that.

Ok I may be jumping to conclusions but it's definitely a fairly heavy duty camera that looks the same as the other garda cameras.

Busting hippies is the first step to busting dealers so yes they would.

+1, but the 35x. The 50x ain't worth the extra spondoolicks for that bit more of a trip.
Spice is ****e, but I should try this smoke business. And BZP is a head wrecker, stay away.
Woodrose on the other hand...

morning glory seeds, same as mushies more or less. 5e a bag. chew the **** outta them.. there good

as for smoke , tis alright smells rank and you would never pick it over proper tweed..

That's a given! But in times of great desperation it gets the job done.

Salvia ain't my thing... I just ended up laughing at a clothes line for 10 minutes. Afterwards, I was cold and my jaw hurt...

Are you sure those clothes wheren't on someone and that you didn't get a slap?

Redhairedguy

I suppose anything can happen in the crazy world of warcraft

nobodythere

Got that smoke stuff yesterday.

A bit harsh on the throat but definitely ok in times of need. Does anyone know what's in them? All I can smell is cloves.

Those morning glory seeds, took em about a year ago, puked my guts up for 2 days. Stay away.

ScumLord

I got them seeds but I don't think I prepared them properly and they did taste like muck.

If you search for spice recipes you can buy all the ingredients to make your own at home.

There should be a website on the box, but when I went to it, it was under construction

Headshop - no "Smoke" in stock all week, told today "should be in Monday"

Ah well, it'll be a drinking weekend then.

Why don't they order more- feckers are always running out.

padrinadoodle

I have read so much about a headshop in dublin called Nirvana can anyone tell me what sort of smoking stuff they have, also do they have a website? the headshops here in Belfast are ****e! nothing but crap in them.

Daithi412

after the readin the hotpress thing, headshops sound like a pretty good goddamn idea instead of anything they sell on a street..

any chance of directions for the one in galway?:)

I was in on Friday. It alright. Mostly smoking paraphenalia (sp?) papers, bongs, boxes etc.

Cool if you wanna mess around with flavours, styles of joints and stuff.

All herbal stuff (No smoke however)

Down the lane at Ryan's shop on shop street, it's on St Augustins Lane ( I think the name's right) just to the left of the church.

spinandscribble

yeah those crowd are real sound dont be afraid to talk to them.

padrinadoodle

Went into Nirvana yesterday, they were making joints with some new stuff called "so high":D, I jest you not.. this stuff is better than Spice gold, smoke or anything else I have tried, I got a brilliant euphoric high after only 5 or 6 minutes and it lasted about 2 hours with a nice gentle come down.
I was talking to the dreadlocked girl that was making them (very pretty) and she told me that they were opening new shops in Galway, Waterford, wicklow and somewhere else (I can't remember where) but I forgot to ask what the website is, antone know it? also has anyone else tried "So High"?

Redhairedguy

padrinadoodle wrote: »

No.. But if what you say be true. I shall.

Redhairedguy

Popped into Nirvana yesterday. Asked for "So High". They had no idea what I was talking about. As far as they were concerned, the strongest stuff they had was... ugh... Spice Gold.

I had actually gotten my hopes up a small bit.:(

jasonh

anyone know the phone number of the head shop?
