    There is reports that the minister of Health Mary Harney is currently in the process of passing a bill to outlaw the sale and supply of legal party pills which would include BZP benzylpiperazine. These have been sold for several years over the counter in head shops, on line and at various trade shows such as the RDS. There are arguments for and agaiinst the sale of these pills.

    why can't that fat bitch just die already.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,239 ✭✭✭✭WindSock


    Why doesn't she do something useful and proactive such as raise the taxes on sweets and food that is bad for you? (insert Harney weight joke here)

    So you go into a "head" shop to get "off your head" on the porty pills.

    Maybe Harney is just jealous as she is trying to grow the biggest head in the world and wants the stiffle the competition.

    But really, who gives a fluck. I wouldn't bother with them cheap useless rubbish anyway. The real thing is €5 off one of them dodgy spaniards in the Tripod anyway. Probably cheaper.

    What's a head shop? Are there happy endings involved?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 20,009 ✭✭✭✭Run_to_da_hills


    Its only just a ploy to try and draw attention away from the medical card scandal. :rolleyes:

    She could do with downing a few herself, may lead to some much needed weight loss.

    Pretty much.

    Also, BZP is largely ****. The pills that contain it are largely ****. In fact, out of everyone i know who does drugs, the worst nights they had, for the most part, involved BZP.

    Fat miserable hoore. Why can't she actually put some effort into her main job instead?

    I completely agree. Although I still think Mary Harney is a feckin waste of space.

    She is clearly very talented at blaming the people below her for the consistant mess that is our Health Service.

    I can only assume it will take someone dying on a trolley in a hospital hallway waiting to be seen before anything is actually done about her.

    is she just baning bzp or is she trying to shut down head shops totally.

    there are some good products; kratom, salvia, cactii ect.

    "smoke" is nasty ****, someone should find out what's in it.

    OP just says "party pills". To be fair, it's probably for the best as several people in this thread have pointed out.

    Just BZP, and it's been in the works and on the cards for a while now.

    I still say be rid of it, **** product.

    Let him post in them yes, but all his threads now are just wasteful paranoid noise.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,497 ✭✭✭Nick_oliveri

    the nazi's were able to carry out such evil deeds because people like you scoffed at people like him, without even considering that he may have a point.

    The whole "legal pill" sceen is cat and mouse, the drug ingredient has to be singled out and banned by the state medical board, as soon as its outlawed there is a substitute within weeks. BZP was banned several years ago in the UK but not long after cathinone became readily availible on the market.

    Ah you just want him silenced so your cronies can get him into the black helicopter without him being able to warn anyone.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,497 ✭✭✭Nick_oliveri


    I heard that they were nearly two day buzzes without any "scag"! Sounds better than your average rat poison seizure party bull****.

    I know i'm letting myself in for it here, but all of you idiots calling Harney a 'bitch' or a 'geebag' and making lame jokes about her weight should cop on to yourselves. You're pathetic.

    If you feel the need to stand up for the head shops, try to come up with something more convincing than this juvenile rubbish.

    Personally i couldn't care less about whether or not the shops are open, i wouldn't be interested in them anyway. In my experience. most of their products tend to result in either a *****ty high or a *****y come down. The staff and customers tend to consist of a load of spaced out losers who spend the day sniggering like morons as they tell each other boring stories about how fuc*ked they got last week. But that's just my opinion.

    Don't believe everything you hear. No real come up ( okay, a nice warm fuzzy feeling but that is NOT a come up ), jitters, that kind of annoying anxious feeling and a lot of trouble sleeping the night after use.

    I have tried several of the various types of "party pills" and the above were common for all of them.

    When i compare to decent MDMA it's more expensive, worse sides and nothing available ( that i am aware of ) to negate them.

    Also, if you hear someone talking about a "skag" as a regular part of their life then that person is a moron and shouldn't be allowed near drugs.

    A bit of 5HTP will cure the comedown with no problems.

    Of course, this is illegal for purchase in Ireland. We couldn't have any money gone out of the pockets of the pharma's, especially as 5HTP helps deal with Seasonal Depression and various sleep related problems that you can go into pharmacy and pay good money to have dealt with less effectively.
