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.

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).

These same groups now have moved on to Coke because they can afford it with full time jobs.

dodderangler wrote: » Yes of course there’s a drug problem. It’s blatantly obvious. I’d say about 70% of people in a pub at any time is on coke. Weed hash is no longer a massive issue. Coke is the main problem. MDMA is more s country thing. Ketamine is huge among younger groups. 18-25 year olds. Because it’s cheap as ****. Speaking from my past as someone that couldn’t go for s pint without cocaine it’s too easy to get and doesn’t take much persuasion to get some. So yes we do have s massive drug problem

It's pretty easy to access drugs in Dublin, from I'd say mid-teens onwards. Most people (in a boys school anyway) would go to school with someone who sells or at least a few people who know people who sell. If you're on a sports team or have a large enough group of friends outside school, it's going to be even easier. Yeah, if you're a teenager asking randomers on the street, you're not going to get anything. Even if you ask people who are selling, they often wouldn't sell to young people. It's different though when you have connections that are friends. Same applies for buying smaller amounts or splitting up amounts among a group of friends. For adults trying to get drugs in Dublin, it just takes a bit of common sense and confidence to be honest, it's really not difficult.

Let them take what they want as long as they have been told the dangers in school and don’t expect my taxation money to fix them afterwards. Take drugs and become addicted yourself, then fix your own problems yourself afterwards. Don’t expect me to pay for you.

The drug that was claimed to be used is the most expensive (fact) and the hardest to acquire (what I've heard and limited experience). Ultimately, I believe, ease of access depends on what, exactly, one is trying to obtain.
