I'm an adult living in Berlin in full time employment and I have problems sometimes. And that's before we get to the expense part. How is a random 17 year old going to obtain and afford it?! We're talking drugs here. They don't just use a little pocket money and nip down to the local off-license and casually asking someone to nip in and get it for them. And they certainly are not so careless that they get overheard talking about it!! "Talking openly"...?! That's bull**** right there - and hilariously so!

Most towns and villages have no guards or else the guards are too busy bagging 70 year old women going to mass so the drug dealers are cleaning up and kicking the crap out of if not killing anyone that challenges them .

Few beers and knakker drinking was good fun. relaxing chilled. Is cocaine not like running around like a looper chewing the jaw of yourself? not exactly my idea of a great weekend after a long stressful working week lol
Princess Consuela Bananahammock wrote: » Teenagers actually know and are mindful of their limits with drugs...? That's a new one. The dealers. They tend to be very strict about that or it's not worth their while. They're also careful about who the sell to and people even close to looking under 18 will be ignored. It's one thing to be caught distributing, it's a whole new ball game if you're caught distributing to a minor. They have enough customers so that they can afford to be choosy who the have nothing to gain from falling into a potential sting operation. Of course, if could be an older relative obtaining it, but the amount of kids with that kind of access is minimal to say the least and completely rules out them doing it "every weekend". Your claim falls apart on several aspects: 1) mass access, 2)cost, 3)the idea that you actually overheard them talking about it (not to mention the fact that they were actually telling the truth and not just boasting, and 4) they're responsible with their useage (!!)Ultimately, it's not easy to get, to use and not cheap to get it for an adult, the idea that most teenagers have it every weekend simpley because you overheard an unlikely conversation completely laughable.

I met a lady on a night out in Liscannor and herself and her friends rented a house in North Clare for the weekend. Most of her friends were paired up,so she asked me would I like to come back to a party. I wasn't drinking so I was able to drive us back to the holiday home. An extremely attractive lady in her mid 40's came up to me within 5 minutes asking me would I like a punch. Im totally out of the loop with drug culture and house parties, I'm a bit of a loan wolf. She had a tiny little spoon, and a bag of coke. I declined. She was shocked I wouldn't take a "punch" these were all very middle class Dublin people. They call coke "Banger" I could have been a guard, they didn't give a toss. I was way out of my league in social status, these people had high end jobs with lots of responsibility. All BMW's and Audi's parked outside. Anyhow I'm glad I'm not part of the drug or "banger" culture. They were snorting it like it's as casual as having a mint. They were nice pleasant people and they were intrigued with the native Clare guy who didn't drink or take drug's. Each to their own I suppose.

As I said get yourself up to a Soccer or GGA training session with late teen's and prepare for shock if you think they don't talk ,

I could get it when I'm back in Dublin, I don't because it's too expensive (try 60-80 euro - but full disclosure: that wasn't recent. Can't imagine it's gone down though) and the guy doesn't know me well enough. Far cry from what an 80s nun or 70s movie would tell me (which, even if you were correct, would not be even close to these sources would tell me. Nuns used scare-tactics; 70s movies glamourised it). BBuuuut - you overheard a coversation between some teenagers on a GAA pitch and that's enough to claim everyone else is cluless...?? Also, you haven't countered the flaws in your story that I highlighted: Care to try again, this time addressing the content instead of bailing out on an ad homeinem?

Dealers can break a bag down to whatever price they want to sell it , You seem to think theses teens are buying it of drug kingpin's themselves , There buying it off other teens and lads in there early 20's who don't give a crap were the money comes form as long as they have the cash to pay off the next person in the chain Did you use your google, There are teens getting caught selling Heroin let alone coke, . There are no flaws in the story its obvious you are totally unaware of what goes on in the City you lived in , Drugs especially cocaine are rampant in Ireland, its a FACT bury your head in the sand all you want ,

Shoelaces wrote: » Not even slightly. Heroin figures have steadily dropped and we have next to no use of crack in the country thank jaysus. As for Coke, its used but not on the 70% in a pub (ha!) some lad was saying above. Drugs are there but its not INCREDIBLY easy to get them. Only so much to go around once it finally reaches this part of Europe.

And about people talking about it openly on a sports team, doesn't happen. Coke is more of a drug for the middle class, it's not abused as much as pills and Ketamine by younger people And 70% of people in bars are on coke? Haha,

Sleepy wrote: » Our main problem with most drugs is that we allow illegal drug dealers to sell them instead of legalising them and reaping the taxation benefits. I'm a 38 year old man, if I want to smoke a bit of marijuana that shouldn't be anyone else's business unless I get behind the wheel of a car whilst under the influence (or similar).

howsitgoingboy wrote: » Just a general Q to your point. I know you said a 'a bit' of marijuana but what about the people who don't want 'a bit' and want more until they're high. Would it not get out of hand a bit? Just being curious.
Princess Consuela Bananahammock wrote: » Not doubting the first bit - E is much cheaper and much easier to get that cocaine. I'd rather pay more though, than buy something when "God only knows what;s in them". The last part is is bull**** though. Why the hell would someone risk jail and **** knows what else to sell at "dirt cheap" prices...?
