    Is it just me or was there nobody in Ireland growing weed to sell during the boom years or are the Gardaí only taking it seriously now? Now it seems every week there's a bunch of them raided and massive amounts found, looks like the only growth industry in the country ;).

    At least they're not smoking it.

    Why do Stoners assume the black market is so logistically advanced that it would supply a steady meet-demand supply of marijuana?

    You have to remember that hippies grow this ****. And they're plants. And they take time. And just like Off-season fruit and veg, may not be available year round, or at certain times of the month.

    Oh, and drugs are bad. But you've tickled my economical bone.

    You have a very quaint view of how weed is grown & sold.

    its probably more likely that they got some tipoffs from some loser scumbag that didn't wanna go to jail than they weren't takin it seriously. Anywho most of the smoke in the country is imported so it doesn't make a whole lot of difference!

    Seems it's mainly professional skunk farms in large rented properties in rural areas. Run by people who are as diametrically opposite to hippies as it is possible to be!

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 504 ✭✭✭cypharius

    2) Tax it
    3) ???

    Jesus I hope they don't escape like the mink did. It will destroy the local wildlife.

    Minks shagging skunks, skunks shagging mink. We are doomed.

    scumbag cops keeping the price of weed artificially high for their own profits... marijuana is easy to detect, heroin and coke are not so thats why the useless shower of filth catch people for weed/hash.. its a disgrace.

    True. I get that. But I love how people assume its a raid or a bust. Demand may simply outpace supply. Other than that, keep checking the papers.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 27,387 ✭✭✭✭super_furry


    Legalize it, tax it at 180%, recession over.
