Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if the dosey bitch didn't read the label first? People love to blame the shops when its their own ****ing stupidity that brings on bad side effects.

Head Shops should be left well alone. For people who don't know what they are buying, or just don't like the idea of head shops, may I recommend you stay the **** out of them then?

You are right!

Damn radio. That Joe Duffy fella should get a real job!

So let me get this straight. The show sent a 14 and 16 year old girl into a shop to buy legal substances (that isnt illegal to sell to under 18's) and im meant to be shocked? Am i missing something here.

Typhoon.

i think the problem RTE had with it is that the guy that owns a few head shops was on joe duffy 2 years back and said he wouldnt sell this stuff to under 18's.... but seeing as its not illeagal... big wow if he broke his promise

Davei141

In dublin they are actually quite strict.

What I am missing is my tax money paying to "sort out " those knuckle draggers who get fcuked up by the head shop stuff.

Fcuk yourself up all you like pilgrim,go the whole hog,but don't expect ME to pay

yeah, they will be putting the stuff in babies bottles next.

Bob the Builder

Laws are ****ed up anyway. But then again the public service and the law reform body and the politicians all sitting on their holes. Michael McDoogle was the only proper politician when it came to law reform and he was even kicked out for it.

you know they sell lots of "stuff" (apart from some overall pretty safe recreational substances which i presume you're talking about), i'm guessing you've never been in one.

anyway, im a regular in one of the more well known head shops in dublin, and went in the other day to buy myself some cactus. firstly, the guards have confiscated all their mescaline containing cacti, and lsa containing woodrose seeds. even though both are pretty easily available in well known garden centres.

secondly they've gotten real strict on id, as i said im a regular and i got id'd this time, im 20 and wasnt even buying when i found out they had no cactus!

FlutterinBantam

Spot on Cap'n never been in one, and never will.

Read my post, injest all the stuff you like in these Head Shops,but if and when your head is fcuked from this stuff,then don't expect me,the taxpayer to support or bail you out.

Stew in your own spores pilgrim.

That's like saying "if you fall off a ladder, then don't expect me to pay for the results of your stupidity". Unfortunately we all have to pay taxes, and don't have any direct say in how they are spent. Unless you are personally walking into the A&E and paying an amount towards treatment for said clowns, then its a pointless retort to be honest.

I'd personally be more worried about all the people who are draining the health service over drink & smoking related health problems, over anybody experimenting with their mind or just enjoying a spliff. Everybody has their vices, so directing hatred at someone because of what they choose to do for recreation is a bit hypocritical...

No son, it's if you continuously JUMP off a ladder etc etc.
I agree with the smoking and drinking comment,but you can't rule out the spliff option.

Give me some credit for intelligence.

Who's demeaning your intelligence?

At the end of the day, adults are supposed to be mature enough to make their own decisions. If you buy something from a head shop, don't read the packet and then mess yourself up, you fully ****ing deserve it. I won't defend anybody taking substances they have no clue about, and then whinging about them afterwards. Its ***** like that that bring such a bad reputation on these substances, not the effects themselves.

Fine you may not like the stuff they sell, but at least have some respect for peoples rights not to live in a ****ing nanny state.

Red Alert

I think we'd be better off without them tbh, i'm sure some of the kit they sell has applications in illegal drug taking too.

Unless he was the guy behind the counter in the program I don't see the point.

How would you be better off? How does the existence of these shops interfere with your life in anyway?

What i said...

Its this point I have issue with. Do you think anybody is taking substances from head shops while thinking "at least if I get sick,FlutterinBantam/Darkjagers taxes will help me out?". I'd highly doubt it. Do you think the same when you overdo the pints? Again, I'd doubt it.

Personally, I have no time for the idiots who go and get plastered on alcohol every weekend, then end up in hospital because they couldn't ****ing behave in an "acceptable" fashion, but my taxes are being wasted patching these pricks up every single weekend, and I'd doubt any of them give a **** about that.

Nehaxak

The programme was just another RTE/government agenda pushing bullshít propaganda to the masses to explain away the illegal raids on headshops recently.

Nothing more than that and big deal they sold to under 18's and broke no laws in doing so, whoop de fcking doo !

:rolleyes:

License money well spent by RTE and their "award winning" journalist puppet blah blah blah etc., etc.,

Anyway, those headshops should be selling blowjobs or be brought up for false advertising.

nobodythere

It's the head shops fault Magic Mushrooms are illegal. Profiteering bastards.

Nehaxak

Hardly illegal though to pick them yourself when they grow naturally though is it ?

Maybe it is, I dunno.

I think it is illegal. Or it's illegal to have them on you, so I suppose picking them you mean you have them on you unless you eat them right away which would be a bad idea, what with all the sheep crap on them.

Yes, because as we all know 1 gram of these substances can instantly cause waster disease.

Emmm what you talking about? I've never been into a "head shop" in my life. Just commenting on the fact that i cant understand the whole point of sending a 14 and 16 year old girl into a shop to buy something that's not illegal. I mean RTE might as well of made a programme about a 14 year old going into Spar and buying a packet of tayto...thats what im missing.

FlutterinBantam

It would appear that the owner of said shop said he did not serve under 18s

RTE send in a 14 year old with no ID and she is sold products.

A lot of people on this site seem to confuse "illegal" with "sensible"

It's not illegal to walk across a busy national road at 0830,but it's not sensible.


Grow some brain stems people.

Jeesh.

i think remember it being illegal if you dry them to sell but personal possesion or picking or whatever is fine iirc

During my "teenage" years, we used to bring tents up to a certain field in the Dublin mountains and camp there overnight so at the break of dawn the next morning we would get the most ripe and best magic mushrooms. Used to save some for sure but would always just pick and eat straight away also.

Fun times though trying to find the way home, was an awful long long walk from the Dublin mountains out of your head with usually a couple of people in the horrors along with it.

For sure there was a lot of worms in the mushrooms, didn't really bother anyone about the sheep shít though. Or maybe the worms were in the shít, never really found out.
