Psychoactive reaction to Product sold in 'pub shop'

    Hi Guys,

    I was watching TV the other nite and saw an ad for the GAA, they were sponsored by a beverage called Guinness, I think it must be an energy drink from what I saw on the ad, So I decided to head to the local 'pub shop' as they are locally known and I had a number of Guinness', I felt a bit strange, I started to have feelings of relaxation and cheerfulness, later that evening I started to experience blurred vision and coordination problems. I then started to have irrational and slightly violent thoughts towards a building across the road called 'St Luke's' and finally i got violently sick.

    I didn't sleep very well that night,and woke up feeling terrible the following day, depressed and ill.

    My question is should I report this establishment to the Gardai under the new law (psychoactive substances law) introduced by Minister Ahern?

    Leave out the word Guinnness and drink, then yes.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Possibly - but only if it would stop you posting silly questions.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,593 ✭✭✭Sea Sharp


    Go on and complain. You can p1ss them off off well and good. That'll learn 'em.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,345 ✭✭✭landsleaving


    Yep. That law is silly. Well observed and delightfully packaged. Kudos on your observational skills.

    Seiously though, you shouldn't be watching tv in the first place, it's bad for you.

    Absolutely. You need to report this to the gardai immediatly, quoting the new legislation as your point of concern. Make sure they investigate your complaint, after all, these substances are banned.

    Yes it is, its part of the 'depressive' group, but Ive always thought it should be part of the 'stimulant' group :-)

    Watch out folks, seems like the headshop frequenters are getting narky on the cold turkey.

    Sugar will be next as well as chocolate, anything which is a mood altering substance
    doubt it will last long.

    I see that Homeopathic shops, Chinese Herbalist's, vitamin shops, coffee shops and a pub or 2 are still open. Has anyone got a phone number to contact Pat Carey.

    It was fun before but now you've just gone and made it nasty *broken, damaged shell of a man crying in an empty meadow.

    Will you people spouting this so-called argument please do some reading! The psychotropic substances law will be targeting NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION products. ffs!

    Homeopathic shops,

    This is where you can buy gay people who kill with no remorse.

    As you know, we're all here at AH just to have a good time and hook up with sexy women. So there no room for bad feelings here. Please accept my sincere apologies. If we're ever in the same pub shop I'll buy you a hit as a token of my contrition.

    Plenty of pubs in rural areas operate as a shop too, some even operate as an undertakers...

    Ha ha I never thought so many people would get so bothered because they cant eat plant food anymore or other such crap.

    They need to go on the beer and the jagers like real men!!!

    Headshop Products - User writes a satirical piece of rhetoric emphasising publically acknowledged flaws in topical legislature

    Alcohol - User lies splayed like a beached manatee in a darkened room watching endless repeats of Top Gear

    Hmmmm..... ;)
