Thankfully for the rest of the country at least, these people haven’t yet been able to form a Government, or we’d end up like Canada.

Widely regarded as one of the best countries in the world to live in. Who'd want to end up like that? :rolleyes:

Maybe you thought the South Park movie was a documentary?

I firmly believe any drug user is a moron. And nothing will ever change that.

There are Nobel prize winners that have used LSD, are they morons?

Everyone I've known who smokes weed on a regular basis has been a complete waster with no direction in life.

I have had completely the opposite experience. Many weed-smokers I know are industrious, at the top of their fields and doing very well in life.

How do you measure which country is the best to live in ?

From what I see of it cocaine seems to be the drug been pushed night and day by local traveller drug dealers . Young people seem to have giving up going out for a few drinks and instead are spending whatever little disposable they have on cocaine . It’s a national scourge at this stage with many of them showing the usual signs of mental issues ,paranoia, violence , depression etc etc . I was far happier having a few pints when I was their age is all I know .

They do surveys. Ireland generally rates fairly highly (provided you have €€€ of course.)

United Nations does a "happiness" report every year.

Of course, happiness is subjective and its scope is somewhat limited, but it's usually a reasonable indicator. Scandinavian coutries usually occupy the top spots.

Each to their own, but it's a bit arrogant to say that your drug did you fine so why can't everyone else do it.

Cocaine is a dangerous drug and the side effects that you list are very much real and possible - but that's not what happens to everyone. And the same cound be said for alcohol.

I've done both and enjoyed both but both are frankly a bit boring after a while (especially the cocaine).

Wouldn’t be interested in taking drugs myself especially if it means supporting traveler drug dealers who seem to control the drugs market all over Ireland outside of Dublin

Not my source either.

Would the way it’s made, transported etc not put people off it’s use?

Whatever about illegal recreational drugs and merits for and against them, which I’ve debated with people who were very pro and anti, over the past 25 years or so - and I’ve dabbled in a few in my time - there is no shadow of a doubt in my mind that the one legal drug, alcohol, is probably the most dangerous of them all.

It puts some off, definitely; but as somsone said in another thread: have you ever seen sausages made?

Coke is widely used and anyone that uses it really needs help, as do they all....

I've seen them injecting on the bus, train and on the streets, trousers down, into the penis, into their eye balls with the help of another and a torch.....


It's very very sad to see anyone turn out like them and how their lives are destroyed and family and friends and society as a whole too.

Well, luckily according to Maggie Thatcher, there's no such thing as a society.
