Why is Dublin such a shιtty city?

Increase drug (cocaine, heroin, fentanyl, amphetamine) dealing sentences to similar to countries in South East Asia and the middle East.

No point in bothering to keep up this charade war in drugs otherwise. Open dealing, multiple convictions etc. It's not a deterant.

Il tell you what is a deterant: caught dealing heroin.- 25 years in prison. No chance of early out.

Generations getting addicted to heroin and the cycle of misery being passed on because highly addictive drugs are everywhere.

Addicts are victims. Too late for many to change but severe penalties for street level dealing to try to break the cycle of drugs on the street

300 euro worth of heroin in wrap bags- 20 years no parole etc

Current legal system not functional

Legalise cannabis

Nobody is lying in an alleyway covered in vomit with a joint in their mouth.

Or wandering around town in rags collecting change for their next bong hit.

Cannabis is safer than alcohol but is still a drug and should be treated responsibly. 18 years old, licenced sellers , quality control etc

I remember a couple of months ago there was a story about some guy who died in a flat in Dublin. He was an addict and was allowing his flat to be used by addicts. I remember the news saying that he had been dead for days in the flat and others had covered him with newspapers and bags in a room while they continued to get high. That is extreme addiction. Nobody willingly wants to live like that.

The absolute parasites who sell and prey on these people are literally killing them and are ruining society. They should receive extreme sentences for the harm they are doing.

The cycle must be broken . The next wave of would be dealers should see that caught with100 euro worth of heroin and they would be getting 20 years in jail.

I agree except for the fact that these drugs can turn people into life long addicts and destroy their lives.

If drugs were just bad for your health then legalise away. Every man and woman for themselves but its the extreme risk of addiction and what it does to people and how it can turn areas into complete kips. It's bad for society. It's a disease. It ruins families etc etc.

There is no benefit to any of us as a society to make drugs like heroin openly available to purchase.

What is the point in making it legal and having a whole host of people who would have never gone near it if it remained illegal and unaccepted by society end up as addicts.

What is the benefit to them and to society

I say legalise cannabis and use the revenue to go after heroin dealing in particular but only if extreme sentences are introduced . Otherwise there is no point in bothering.

Iv told you the story about people ignoring a dead body so they could continue to use the apartment to get high. You are saying its comparable to smoking fags?

Heroin addiction is not comparable to nicotine addiction

Its what heroin addiction does to someone.

You might tip out of the office 10 for a quick smoke and ring a client or something

You aren't tipping out of the office at 10 to inject heroin and ring a client!

We obviously disagree on things both both agree that the current status quo is a waste of time and not working.

Both agree with cannabis legalisation too
