Serious question, but on the theme of isolation, where in the feck is Gerry Hutch?

To my knowledge it is now over 4 years since he has been seen in public.

When was the last verifiable attempted murder in that feud?

Yup

What’s the red stamp at the top of right hand page. I haven’t got my passport handy but is that passport expiry date?

Never mind. I see two red stamps.

So it there going to be a supply shortage due to the lockdown? If so how will that impact the various gangs operations?

Haladmirer

There has never been a shortage of any drug here in 20 years,no matter how many seizures or how big
Think about that
All the bull**** after big seizure
"This will disrupt the supply in area"
Bull**** and they know it
Maybe after this virus we might rethink how we do things,like the resources wasted on the lost war on drugs

Back around the summer of 2006 you couldn't get hash for love nor money for a prolonged period, from memory it lasted on and off for a long, long time. It was even blamed for an upsurge in prison violence. Was probably what accelerated the move into growhouse cannabis.

I don't smoke any more but I'd agree that now there generally wouldn't be shortages of weed with so many growhouses in operation, they'd have to be phenomenally lucky and take out two dozen in a weekend.



Ecstasy nearly disappeared for a period roughly around the same time when there was a worldwide shortage of a precursor chemical.

And while I wasn't in the country at the time I recall seeing that the explosion in popularity of black market prescription drugs (zimmos, xanax etc) happened during an unprecedented heroin shortage in the early 2010's. Junkies would use this stuff to tide them over and never really left them, it's more cost effective than several bags of heroin per day.


As an island we would be a lot more prone to shortages than anywhere else. Although on the flip side there is probably a mountain of unsold coke and yokes in cold storage with no clubs pubs and parties to be consumed in.

Spot on, I remember the 2006 drought well.

Was that not the Great Drought of '96? After Gilligan got nicked? There was nothing for a good year and a half.

For a few months now there's been a severe shortage of cannabis resin. Lads that would have had it for years are completely dry. (So I've been told)

Well I would have been 11, so it definitely was not :pac::pac: Seriously though was there actually none for 18 months?!

I've turned down offers of a number for hash over the last few years because I don't want down that rabbit hole again but it really is a niche market from what I gather. I know plenty of grass smokers who wouldn't touch it and most grass dealers wouldn't be selling it.

Grass is ****ing horrible IMO, leaves you feeling like you have brain cancer.

The bleedin bang of weed these days would knock an elephant out. I feel physically sick if i ever have the misfortune of smelling it.

I'd imagine Garda arrests for supply will be through the roof over the next few weeks. The guards are absolutely everywhere, I've barely left the house since Friday and saw 5 seperate cars and a checkpoint in that time. Lads meeting in public for a bag will stick out well with feck all of anyone else about.

Yeah there was nothing for a long time and when it did come back it was never the same quality.

Hash made people a bit disinterested, a tad lazy maybe. I've seen first hand that today's weed is arguably worse for a young man than alcoholism. At least an alcoholic is usually sociable! The financial cost, the addiction, the strength of it being so overpowering, it's a poor way to live.

It's like the difference between beer and poteen.

Yea bigtime. The myth of it being harmless is bullcrap.

Could the Guards get away with some Covert-19 on the back of Covid-19 ? ?
