So Harney has just banned BZP... Who is affected?

Not me, for sure!

Vain · 31-03-2009 4:56pm

If i knew what it is id tell you. But it mustn't affect me as i know nothing of it.

Sharpshooter · 31-03-2009 4:57pm

Well it is a drug so I am not surprised,are you?

ThE_IVIAcIVIAIV · 31-03-2009 5:00pm

its the stuff in the ''herbal extacy'' and most of those pills from those sorta shops!

Chucky the tree · 31-03-2009 5:01pm

Awful drug, she's still a useless fat mess though.

Biggins · 31-03-2009 5:01pm

I'm more in shock that she actually knew how to do something!

chopperbyrne · 31-03-2009 5:09pm

Don't know what it is, but if it's being banned then I doubt I'll be affected.

Mister Fister · 31-03-2009 5:10pm

good riddance, thats some horrible sh*t that! yeah shes still a fat mess!!!

AckwelFoley · 31-03-2009 5:10pm

Black Zelot Protestants?

Small minority movement, thought they were too small to ban..

But hey..

SV · 31-03-2009 5:19pm

Good choice i think? Have never taken it myself but it's apparently fap more potent than Es?

missingtime · 31-03-2009 5:43pm

Well the drug dealers will be happy. Sales of E's should increase quite a bit I would imagine.

Horrible horrible stuff, well done Harney - Have a ham sandwich. Or two....

A mate of mine done some research into BZP capsules (he's a pharmacist) after his brother got some in a Head Shop. Of all the capsules he tested, 8/10 of them included ingredients that weren't listed on the pack. Mostly filler, but it just goes to show that you can't trust labels from the companies that produce them.

As for BZP itself. Well, it was developed for worming cattle. That's a good enough reason not to take them, imo =p

pierrot · 31-03-2009 5:48pm

Good. I've done it a couple of times, no harm it's been banned. Unless people get a buzz from staying awake for thirty hours saying nothing. No loss at all, and it's pretty dodgy if taken with other stuff. Well done Hairy Marney!

Not DRUGS?! I hate drugs! In fact, I am so upset I think I need a drink. Think I'll have a smoke on the way to calm me down. No coffee for me tonight, caffeine and the stress will keep me awake! Plus it can give me headaches, but I suppose I could just take some sleeping tablets and painkillers and get a good night's rest.

Board Walker · 31-03-2009 5:49pm

i tried it once because it was legal.

horrible horrible stuff.

sleepless nights, paranoia and all that. not good at all!

yoyo · 31-03-2009 5:49pm

Who really cares in fairness? :pac:

She...wants to be fat and is afraid someone will force her to take it...? How does that even begin to make sense in your head?

galwayrush · 31-03-2009 5:59pm

She more or less banned a lot of girls from having a cancer vaccine as well:rolleyes:

Don't really see a problem.
From reading here, not too many people liked it anyway.

..more like the entire animal.

I agree, drugs should be being banned in a well-thought out and controlled manner with easiness at first so the pushers dont get their claws in too deep. But no, that could never happen here.

The problem is that noone would laugh unless they were mildly retarded or a sycophant.

You made an unfunny joke, just accept it.

Non-taxable drugs are bad, mmkay?

manta356 · 31-03-2009 6:30pm

We had a car registered bzp (donegal reg circa 1976),can we not use it now.? lol

Banned? The fúck she did. I'm not a fan of Harney by any stretch of the imagination but all that death sentence bollocks pisses me off. The cervical cancer vaccine is still available to girls. Read the link in my sig if you're interested.

Dennis the Stone · 31-03-2009 6:37pm

Dreadful stuff. I used it once and I couldn't sleep or get it up for three days.

It's not any where near the same effect. E is more potent in that it's a proper high. BZP is just muck.

Sam Vimes · 31-03-2009 6:49pm

I think I've heard of this. There was a retard on the Adrian Kennedy phone show going on about how they mess with your head and no one should take them. It was only after about 10 minutes that he mentioned he took about 15 of them at once. So his argument wasn't so much against the drug as overdosing on it like a retard. He didn't seem to grasp that though

KeyLimePie · 31-03-2009 8:45pm

Drugs are bad and anyone who needs them to have a good time or enjoy themselves need help

and before people say it, yes I do drink but never to an excess !

So Miss Hearney finally got around to try it and obviously didn't like it.:D

I wonder will Harney ban nutmeg next?

zonEEE · 31-03-2009 9:54pm

In fairness this is going to make people who wanted to try out drugs the legal way, go straight onto yokes. Them party pills leave a lot longer skag then the real mccoy tho

df1985 · 31-03-2009 9:58pm

good riddance, took a few of them party pills once and felt like **** for days.worse than a comedown from regular pills.if i had a choice over the two id be taking the illegal stuff-that says a lot!

dublinario · 31-03-2009 10:12pm

I took a couple of those bad boys at a party last Summer and permanently lost the ability to blink. Granted, I did gain X-Ray vision, but I'd give anything to be able to blink again. My cheeks are permanently wet with tears.

How does it feel up there on that ever so high horse of yours?

Monkey61 · 31-03-2009 10:34pm

That's a shame. I thought they were quite good actually...lovely buzz and none of the comedown. Strange.

galwayrush · 31-03-2009 10:35pm

i think she had something to do with banning PD's as well.:rolleyes:

CCCP^ · 31-03-2009 10:36pm

This is more of a stab against the Head shops. The makers of the herbal pills will just change the ingredients as they have done before I believe.

Still, I have to admit at being pissed off. As someone who used to do very illegal things but has since grown out of it, I liked being able to enter a shop and make an informed decision (based on my own research) and try out recreational drugs as opposed to the old days of meeting some scumbag on a doss council housing estate when I was younger and foolish. I'm old enough to do so, and whatever I do in the privacy of my own home with consenting adults isn't really anyone elses business.

Thank god I'm off work this week. I am going to ****ing boot it down at 9 tomorrow to get my claws on whatever I can.

Apparently she was actually trying to open a new specialised cystic fibrosis ward, but she accidentally banned BZP instead.

generalmiaow · 31-03-2009 10:45pm

some links and info here

I won't be affected by this tbh, they might as well be banning red bull and turpentine. I don't really understand the government's strategy here though.

CCCP^ · 31-03-2009 10:54pm

Did I ever tell you about the time, about 2/3 years ago, I was standing in a line outside an ATM and Mary Harney waddled up to me? It was election time and she came over and almost grabbed my ****ing hand off as I was minding my own business and shot off before I had time to properly react. Jesus if I could go back in time...

Pub07 · 31-03-2009 11:08pm

Shure they're just gonna bring in some replacement for it now anyway. Might even be something decent, that BZP was crap, had it a couple of times and said never again.

TBH I'm not going to get into what I think of adults (Im talking 25+) still taking BZP, as I'll come off condescending and all the more conservative than I actually am. Nor will I debate against people who think the rules don't apply to them and that taking banned substances is their god given choice/right. The interests of society > the interests of liberal hippies.

What I will say is good riddance. Awful fuckin things altogether. If this ban saves some poor unsuspecting kid the horror bad trip I have experienced on these things then I'm all for it. I took them half a dozen times a few years back and on one occasion (same brand/amount I always took) I took a horrible turn and had the worst night of my life. In short I nearly died.

My satisfaction at the banning of BZP is half for the above reason, and half to stick it to the scumbag head shop owners who do not discern at all between adults and the kids they shamelessly serve. My 14 year old nephew can - and has - walked into these shops and been served without the shop owner as much as batting an eyelid. I had to be stopped from going down and dragging him over the counter.

As the head shops have 95% market share for party pills in Ireland, I hope it really fucks their bottom line in the arse, because they've been given every oportunity to step up to their responsibility to not push this shite on kids, but their greed stops them.

So Harney has just banned BZP...
