    Did you know that car transporter drivers have reach level ten or better on Tetris to get a license.

    Head up North, tell them you are stocking up for coming down South. That way you can get lots of packs.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,590 ✭✭✭✭kneemos


    Try a bottle of this.

    Serious answer, have you tried addiction counseling?

    Buy some crack and look for a tutorial on how to turn it into solpadeine online.

    God bless the border to evade that Nanny State nonsense.

    You just need to set aside one day a month, and pick a new town each month. Visit every pharmacy and buy the maximum amount allowed in each.

    And remember ''period pain'' is always the correct answer. Even if you're male.

    Nurofen > Solpadeine.

    Honestly, I'm starting to almost oppose re-unification since the border is rapidly becoming the only escape from one of the most pharmaceutically restrictive nanny states in Europe. :mad:

    Codant is yer only man. 30mg per tablet.

    Pharmacists don't like it either. Most would prefer it to be either prescription only or available OTC with a word of advice. Anything but that silly scripted charade. I don't think it's nanny statish for them to be concerned about people taking too much of it and ending up in a bad way - they do sell drugs to help people you know - and before this silly rigmarole they were sharing info amongst themselves on people who were clearly buying too much from several pharmacies, and refusing sale on that basis.

    It's an extremely addictive substance though. For every punter who is picking up a packet for genuine pain or discomfort there are folk who just want to pop a few before washing them down with a bottle or two of cheap red wine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 343 ✭✭FreshKnickers


    Some people get addicted so ban it for everyone!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,563 ✭✭✭leeroybrown


    I can handle my smack. It's all the rest that ruin it for me!

    I'm an extremist, but as far as I'm concerned telling people how to live their lives is the definition of a nanny state. If I end up in a bad way due to my decisions, so be it - I'd rather that than have my decisions made for me by the state, it hasn't exactly proven any sort of competence that would make me trust it to make any such decisions for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,389 ✭✭✭markpb


    When you end up in that situation, the state will be the one paying to treat your addiction so I think it's reasonable that the state tries to avoid it in the first place.

    I know some pharmacists. It wasn't some people, it was and is a huge number of people. Who have and still do refuse to acknowledge they have a problem, because its sold "over the counter in a pharmacy".

    And if your family sue the local pharmacy for selling you the stuff without question after you die of liver failure? They won't be applauding your rebel attitude then. The codeine-paracetamol formula is hardly a right after all. This decision has been made by experts in medicine and pharmacy btw, not "The Man".

    As I've said, I think either OTC or prescription-only would be better than this halfway-house.

    So, even with the new rules they hand it out to 'huge' numbers of people? What the numerical difference between your 'huge' number of people and 'some' people.

    Because they half assed the implementation of it. They either should have amde it perscrip only or left it alone. If you go into a "working class" area, they will just hand you the packet.
