invincibleirish · 27-11-2008 09:45PM

Now before this turns into a classic reactionary anti drugs After Hours thread hands up anyone who was never asked for ID/Served in a pub before they were 18.

ashyle · 27-11-2008 09:47PM

I heard some moron roaring like a stuck cow on the radio today after taking some substance from these "Head Shops"

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if the dosey bitch didn't read the label first? People love to blame the shops when its their own ****ing stupidity that brings on bad side effects.

Head Shops should be left well alone. For people who don't know what they are buying, or just don't like the idea of head shops, may I recommend you stay the **** out of them then?

You are right!

Damn radio. That Joe Duffy fella should get a real job!

Highsider · 27-11-2008 10:38PM

So let me get this straight. The show sent a 14 and 16 year old girl into a shop to buy legal substances (that isnt illegal to sell to under 18's) and im meant to be shocked? Am i missing something here.

Typhoon. · 27-11-2008 10:41PM

i think the problem RTE had with it is that the guy that owns a few head shops was on joe duffy 2 years back and said he wouldnt sell this stuff to under 18's.... but seeing as its not illeagal... big wow if he broke his promise

Davei141 · 27-11-2008 10:47PM

In dublin they are actually quite strict.

What I am missing is my tax money paying to "sort out " those knuckle draggers who get fcuked up by the head shop stuff.

Fcuk yourself up all you like pilgrim,go the whole hog,but don't expect ME to pay

yeah, they will be putting the stuff in babies bottles next.

Bob the Builder · 27-11-2008 11:52PM

Laws are ****ed up anyway. But then again the public service and the law reform body and the politicians all sitting on their holes. Michael McDoogle was the only proper politician when it came to law reform and he was even kicked out for it.

you know they sell lots of "stuff" (apart from some overall pretty safe recreational substances which i presume you're talking about), i'm guessing you've never been in one.

anyway, im a regular in one of the more well known head shops in dublin, and went in the other day to buy myself some cactus. firstly, the guards have confiscated all their mescaline containing cacti, and lsa containing woodrose seeds. even though both are pretty easily available in well known garden centres.

secondly they've gotten real strict on id, as i said im a regular and i got id'd this time, im 20 and wasnt even buying when i found out they had no cactus!

FlutterinBantam · 28-11-2008 05:43PM

Spot on Cap'n never been in one, and never will.

Read my post, injest all the stuff you like in these Head Shops,but if and when your head is fcuked from this stuff,then don't expect me,the taxpayer to support or bail you out.

Stew in your own spores pilgrim.

That's like saying "if you fall off a ladder, then don't expect me to pay for the results of your stupidity". Unfortunately we all have to pay taxes, and don't have any direct say in how they are spent. Unless you are personally walking into the A&E and paying an amount towards treatment for said clowns, then its a pointless retort to be honest.

I'd personally be more worried about all the people who are draining the health service over drink & smoking related health problems, over anybody experimenting with their mind or just enjoying a spliff. Everybody has their vices, so directing hatred at someone because of what they choose to do for recreation is a bit hypocritical...

No son, it's if you continuously JUMP off a ladder etc etc.
I agree with the smoking and drinking comment,but you can't rule out the spliff option.

Give me some credit for intelligence.

Who's demeaning your intelligence?

At the end of the day, adults are supposed to be mature enough to make their own decisions. If you buy something from a head shop, don't read the packet and then mess yourself up, you fully ****ing deserve it. I won't defend anybody taking substances they have no clue about, and then whinging about them afterwards. Its ***** like that that bring such a bad reputation on these substances, not the effects themselves.

Fine you may not like the stuff they sell, but at least have some respect for peoples rights not to live in a ****ing nanny state.

Red Alert · 28-11-2008 06:06PM

I think we'd be better off without them tbh, i'm sure some of the kit they sell has applications in illegal drug taking too.

Unless he was the guy behind the counter in the program I don't see the point.
