has crystal meth hit our streets?

Why the fck would it be coming from China? There's plenty labs in the Czech Republic.

DaveDaRave · 25-09-2014 11:49AM

So people are selling MDPV as crystal meth.

Therefore crystal meth has not hit our shores ?
MDPV was a previously legal high along with mephedrone etc. It can be bought by the KG from chinese suppliers pretty cheap, but its not methamphetmine, which is actually pretty expensive.

This is the 2nd news report i heard about "crystal meth" that actually ended up being another drug, in that case it was mephedrone.

yes it has I would say....

According to National Family Support Network who have said:

Many family members in Dublin expressing concern about the rise in crystal meth use which is highlighted in the article below (independent.ie article). If you are dealing with issues of substance abuse in your family please contact your local Family Support Network for help.

They deal with the aftermath so I would trust their own contacts/reports more so than the media...

I really can't understand how all this stuff is still been taken by drug-users.

Surely the word on the street must have got out there by now that this stuff gives you an upset tummy?

Oh well I'm sure natural selection will sort things out

Kimbot · 25-09-2014 12:22PM

Bring back whippets I say!! :P

crystal meth doesnt really have the same dangers as heroin. its quite different, fatalities would be way lower.

folan · 25-09-2014 12:33PM

i wasnt going to take meth, but then i saw it on breaking bad.

now i live in a toilet

It's threads like these that make me re-evaluate my life and be glad and thanful for what I've got ... a bunch of just extinguished matches ... love that smell!

893bet · 25-09-2014 01:13PM

For the last 10-15 years there is scaremongering in the media that crystal meth is taking over from heroin etc and it will be the end of us all. Then they post the same old tired photos of a before meth/after meth.

Lazy journalism.

25-09-2014 01:17PM

20 quid for 4 hits? Yeah I doubt that's meth. :P

DaveDaRave · 25-09-2014 01:20PM

A lot of people find A-pvp and mdpv more addictive than meth funny enough.

somesoldiers · 25-09-2014 02:23PM

I want some of that good stuff yer man had in Limitless, when is that due to hit the streets?

ScumLord · 25-09-2014 03:44PM

I'd say it's just some shrewd marketing from dealers, after Breaking bad they were probably selling everything as meth.

Junkie: Are you sure this is meth?
Dealer: Fo sure yo.
Junkie: It looks an awful lot like a box full of blue smarties.
Dealer: That's what meth looks like yo.

Whatever happened to good old glue sniffers.

Have you not seen the price of Pritt stick recently?

Nah, heroin's a much better bargain

I heard that glue sniffing turns you into a hardened criminal

Philo Beddoe · 25-09-2014 04:03PM

Who cares? It's not as if there aren't already harmful, addictive drugs available on our streets.

creolebelle · 25-09-2014 04:04PM

You do not want to live in a meth infested area. Certain parts of my city look like a thriller music video. It's frightening. And the crime a lot of meth addicts commit to support their habit

maticm18 · 25-09-2014 04:06PM

hope not

That's sounds very entertaining, I guess you'd get a bit sick of hearing thriller every night but at least they put on a show.

I'd imagine the underlying social issues which caused the situation would exist with or without the meth.

I'm not so sure. A lot of meth addicts come from solid middle/ upper middle class families

The police nabbed someone for glue sniffing a couple of months back.
Couldn't make the charges stick.

They caught him by shouting out "Yoo-hoo" on a busy street and arresting the first person to ask "how much?"

Mayo Yid · 25-09-2014 10:59PM

It's a bullsh1t article, the whole thing about crystal meth is how easy and cheap it is to produce, they don't need to go to the hassle of importing it from China. Didn't you guys learn anything from Breaking Bad

Laois6556 · 25-09-2014 11:01PM

I'm a meth head and I'm doing fine.

Its Only Ray Parlour · 25-09-2014 11:36PM

Am I the only one here who hasn't watched a single episode of Breaking Bad?

BOHtox · 26-09-2014 12:16AM
