Cocaine and other drugs in Ireland

Blueshoe

Listening to newstalk this morning discuss a recent report that cocaine use in Ireland is the 3rd highest in Europe.

Very easy to get any and all dugs nowadays. From the traditional street dealer to the dark net posting to your door.

Do you see cocaine use in your towns and villages?
Tell us some of your stories

Cocaine is making some money for the traveller community , outside of Dublin travellers are the cocaine Kings .

They not the kings between Athlone & Limerick including the whole of Galway in that. Only fools are buying from the ones that are at it, pure muck is all they have and are charging big bucks for that muck.

Used to buy it from a Lithuanian scumbag when I was around 20. Awful stuff looking back on it. Totally wound up and forget about sleeping that night. Zero appetite the next day and a feeling of doom.

Actually that sounds a bit like if you over do it on the cocaine!

The odd joint on a Friday night with a cup of tea and a movie is enough nowadays

Is that not coke in a nutshell?

Not really. Dibs and dabs of decent stuff throughout the night wouldn't leave you too bad the next day

I'd say any dealings with traveller gangs ends up in a fall out or the other person getting ripped off

Lads in pubs 7 days a week. Seen staggering around cities, towns and villages with a snack box under the arm.
Stink of old fart and major cigarettes off them

No problem. It wears off quickly enough and the alcohol puts you to sleep as it usually does.

Speed on the other hand. No chance of sleep or food or any type of normal day the next day.
Awful horrible dirty stuff

I can remember we used to go into the cubicle and tear off a tiny piece of toilet paper and put the powder into it to swallow it. The taste otherwise was absolutely horrible.

Saying that I wouldn't have been the type to be taking line after line of cocaine . Just a key or a coin. If you took lots of it I'd imagine sleep wouldn't happen either

Ah Speed

Now that's a drug you needed to keep constantly topped up once you started on a night

Once it ran out the world started falling apart very quickly

The amount of young lads you see stuck in different pubs every night of the week and then stumbling home is a real problem

Food and class A's never mixed

A qoute from 1997 Mr noel Gallagher claimed that taking drugs was "like getting up and having a cup of tea in the morning". Not much has changed then

People who use drugs are complete and utter scum. Same f u ckers can be found looking down their noses at people in communities destroyed by drug dealers

I work in a bar, and more than once I've been asked for a 'vodka and water'...

"a vodka and water? are you sure?''
''its zero calories"

Around xmas maybe 4 years ago. Top floor of the Stag's Head (auld Guinness type pub imo). Queue of lads in the jacks who must have all eaten something dodgy. . .

That was an awakening for me.

Most people in bars using th stall are not going in for a ****e

I've tried coke a few times and it's never been worth it. I never got any sort of buzz from it but I'd often have a two day hangover (drinking too)..

A space cake and some adult cartoons like Bob's burgers, Rick and Morty is a better time to be had

Bit of coke is grand to keep ya going when on the booze for a night. The quality around has gone way up recently. The stuffed up/bleeding nose isn't pleasant when it happens as is the wakefulness the next 24 hours. Sleeping tablets help. As for where to get it, I get it through a very trusted friend whos being getting it from someone for years. Other than that I wouldn't know where to find it. This is maybe 4 times a year.

I don't get the hype with coke at all. I tried it twice when I was younger and it basically sobered me up from a night of pints and it felt like I drank an extra strength red bull or something, there wasn't really a "high" from it that you would experience with other stuff like mdma or weed and it's so overpriced as well.

The older I get the more I notice people using it to just get themselves through the week like people would use coffee. There's lads with kids and jobs trying to keep themselves going on it so they don't crash and burn out.

Also if your using any drug like coke or mdma use a test kit before you try it, especially if buying off someone you don't know very well.

Genuine question, has anyone heard of girls purposely taking rohypnol in the club's on Harcourt street? My mate's younger brother mentioned it's all the rage. They take 10% of the dose that would be given if they were spiked, and it gives them the feeling of 4/5 drinks. Sad reality if that's the case

Yep , stuff like rohipnol ...lbg I think. Tis like 50 cents a hit.

TBH from my dealings with the public driving a taxi I have to say if I'm picking up people who are on something it goes like this.
If they're drunk it's hassle.
If they're drunk but have taken a line it's less hassle.
If they're Xanaxed (upjohned) just get out of my cab. They're ten times worse than coke in my book.

Junkies/crack addicts can't be trusted, very unpredictable too.
