    Well I've selected everything there bar the anti-depressants and the none at al..
    first poll I think I've ever seen with a date for closing lol

    Where's the all of the above option and you are missing a few notables, anyway I'm alright now?

    everything there bar the anti-depressants

    I think it's depressants as in ketamine and stuff he's referring to, as opposed to prescription anti-depressants.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,003 ✭✭✭✭The Muppet


    That 's an interesting question and if everyone is being honest the results so far are surprising . 34 people have voted with 11 saying thay have taken nothing so that leaves 23 who have.

    If the poll is accurate many of those 23 must have sampled numerous different drugs as there are 82 votes in total for the drugs listed. Personally I don't believe the poll is accurate.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 374 ✭✭meepmeep


    well if 23 people have taken drugs and theres 82 votes, that means (me gets out calculator) that on average each person has tried 3/4 (well 3.5 but i don't see how thats gonna work :) ) of the above drugs. I don't think thats too unrealistic is it?

    Personally i've never touched them, but each to their own :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,893 ✭✭✭Canis Lupus


    im curious has anyone here tried "hard" drugs like heroin.

    My only drug is caffeine. I've even stopped drinking and I don't smoke.

    Are the results of this poll being sent to the Garda Síochána? :p


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,918 ✭✭✭Deadwing


    I have a question.

    Who gives a f*ck?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,808 ✭✭✭accensi0n


    I do, and obviously the thread starter does. I think its interesting. Im sure other people are interested in this thread as well since there have been no negative replies bar yours.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,225 ✭✭✭Ciaran500


    I'd be interested to see how the results come out to. I'm suprised by the amount of people that have done cocaine and speed, I thought there use was alot lower.

    There was similar poll to this not that long ago, and you'd be surprised how curious people are.

    None at all for me. Conformist rebelliousness doesn't do it for me.. and I'm also just scared of the damage I'd do to myself. Plus the fact that Drug Barons are the scum of the earth, and I don't want to put one penny in their pockets.

    ah, but clearly you *can* enjoy yourself without these forms of intoxication.

    that doesn't mean that you wouldn't enjoy being intoxicated :)


    I don't drink, but I do enjoy my marijuana, acid, mushrooms, ecstacy, salvia. I have some hawaiian baby woodrose seeds in my bedroom (contains LSA rather than LSD, less visual trip than acid.. slightly longer though).


    only done acid the once, but I think I'm in love.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,036 ✭✭✭✭Stark


    I had a bad trip whilst on acid, but I think that was my fault for doing it alone.

    The fun with being intoxicated in my opinion, is the experience of having yourself operating in a different state, and since life is all about experiencing as much variety as possible, then that's a good thing. If you let drugs get in the way of life though, that's a bad thing. I don't drink bar the occasional splurt(that's once every few months, as opposed to some people's definition of occasional which is once a week) because I feel drinking gets in the way of life for me.

    I have to get some more weed sometime, haven't a clue where to get it atm, busy busy in college and need something to help me wind down at times.

    I hope to have a hearty concoction of dangerous/exciting drugs at my death bed. Some heroin and cocaine for starters :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,217 ✭✭✭Matthewthebig


    What about the effects though. Acid stays in your body for a ridiculous amount of time.

    Then there is the flashback of a bad trip. It is just really stupid.

    What's really creepy are the dealers that soak the hash in heroin to make it physically addictive. The "gear" can still be used so the price is the same.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,036 ✭✭✭✭Stark

    What's creepy I find, is when it happens outside the underworld, and stuff gets put into your kids' food etc. At least drug users have some idea of the risks.

    Acid doesn't stay in your body that long, 3 or 4 days at most. And the flashbacks only occur for heavy users.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 23,556 ✭✭✭✭Sir Digby Chicken Caesar


    matthew ..

    check out www.erowid.org and look at all the wealth of info they got there on acid

    check out my sig too, for a nice lil bit on acid/lsd.

    also, the "bad trips" and their dangers are still being debated... no one's actually done much research into it afaik.

    also.. hash dipped in heroin? .. um.. do you gotta pay extra for that?

    (hah, you answered that.. shows me to be cheeky)

    fair enough.. i've never heard of that, or experienced it but that's all the more reason for the goverment to get off their arses, decriminalise marijuana and bring it *out* of the underworld, and out of these peoples hands.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,068 ✭✭✭stagolee


    have tried all of em , but ive been off everything ecxept the booze and the odd bit of weed these days :D , curiously enough the most addictive substance ive ever had a regular habit for is cold heinz maccaroni cheeze out of cans ,ever since i was a kid i just cant get enough of the stuff , it dissapoints me every time i go to the local supermarket and remember they dont stock it there :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 612 ✭✭✭Phil_321


    I was just wondering, there have been loads of threads on drugs on boards in the last few months, yet if anyone mentions warez of any sort they're told to shut up or they'll be banned. Both are illegal(drugs even more so), so it's a bit of a double standard, isn't it?


  • Moderators, Music Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators Posts: 9,389 Mod ✭✭✭✭Lenny


    Looking at that, a dangeriously ammount of people have taken acid/mushrooms
    it would hvae been better to split them into two, would like to see how many people would fail a spinal tap..

    nah , if anyone was to start telling people where to get drugs here theyd probably get a banning but just talking about em isnt illegal , you could probably post a topic about the warez , p2p or whatever as long as you were seriously discussing it and not just saying where to download pirated stuff i think (never tried it meself though)

    I dont know where you heard that crock of sh1t but in any case that's all it is, heroin commands a higher price and hash or marijuana dont even contain opium although some people think that it does (sometimes), they are incorrect. When opiates are smoked they are not smoked in exactly the same way as hash is, they are boiled and the resultant steam is inhaled, this is not the same as smoking exactly. If you were to put heroin or opium in hash then the cigarette papers would go all brown and oily and the joint would look strange and probably fall apart from being moist.
    Someone has been telling you porkie pies in any case.
    Why would they sell the heroin under price?
    There is quite often ketamin in bad soap hash in Ireland but NEVER has heroin/opiates been found adulterating hash it would be too expensive for the dealers and if it was it would be a speciality and not a stealth move as the hash could be sold for 2 to 3 times the normal price.
    File this under urban myths.

    I hear that. My habit was sometimes as much as 2 euro a day. Cola flavour. *sigh* tough times.

    Other than that I put down shrooms and weed/hash.

    Ever heard of the stuff in Cork called Horse? So called cos it has horse tranquliser in it. It's all they can do to make it potent after the oils have been washed out to make hash oil.

    My sources are pretty good but not verifiable.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,188 ✭✭✭growler


    I never heard of anyone putting ketamin in hash , like heroin the K is worth a lot more as K than it would be in a bar of soap , and as you can't smoke ketamin anyway i cant see how it would work. Never heard of hash called horse in cork either.

    I had seen some (what I was told were) green opium crysals in some hash years ago, but never since.

    The heroin in hash claim is an urban myth afaik.

    Have a look here

    http://www.ukcia.org/activism/soapbar.htm

    One of the pollutants mentioned is ketamine.

    Veterinary ketamine is not that expensive to buy, it appears that it is available over the counter in Spain.

    <edit> guess what country is next to Morocco and also which most of Irish soapbar travels through, strangely enough it is Spain. Remember Mitchell and all the Gilligan related scumbags sodded off, well they all almost to a man are holed up in Spain.

    I vaguely know the guy who does it. He soaks the resin in the heroin. and as i said the heroin can still be used. i also heard it off someone else who is also a dealer. Thats what I've been told and i know someone who bought the heroin soaked hash off the second guy

    I still don't believe you. It doesn't make any sense to do that. Most "stories" going around about drugs are untrue, and it's these stupid myths and scare stories that really píss me off.

  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 35,508 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    A friend of mine's brother and his mates have a bit of a habit of smoking spliffs laced with heroin. They call them A-bombs. I think it's more expensive than the normal buzz and they know what they're getting when they buy it.

    Oh Jesus well then!! Sorry. I didn't know you'd talked to the guy!! :rolleyes:

    I've talked to you!? If I was to believe you I might go around telling people the same! Seriously?

    If I was a dealer I would see no reason to "dip" or "coat" hash in heroin other than to waste my own supply for no real reason. There is no real reason to try and make hash addictive subversively. People will always smoke or use it.

    I have never come across this practice in my life, therefore I don't believe it exists. I hope some sane minded person can back me up. Although I don't really need it. You keep on telling people it exists... No skin off my nose.


    Oh, by the way. Backup isn't "A friend of my friends, Uncles GrandDad's Ma" just doesn't cut it with me. Sorry.

    Sorry man this is a lie. Heroin is a brown powder(turkish/afghani anyway, chinese can be white) that cannot be dissolved in water without the addition of ascorbic acid or citric acid and then it needs boiling, so either asco or lemon juice is added to it, how does he then get the heroin back to a powder state to sell?
    Rubbish outright rubbish.
    If you can explain how he gets around the above then fair play but NOT a chance in hell this is happening.
    THIS IS AN URBAN MYTH.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,733 ✭✭✭Blub2k4

    He's not backing up your claim, there is a difference between sprinkling a little brown into a spliff and soaking the hash in smack. I have heard of heroin in a joint before but the point is that the joint is such a different spliff to a normal one that a user would know, of course these guys know why their papers go all sticky and brown and also why they get a sickly bitter heroin taste in their mouths.
    Heroin has an unmistakeable taste and it is BITTER, really really bitter, in fact the strong stuff will make you gag it is so bitter.

    There was a rumour put about that there was heroin in pills too, ecstacy pills that is, according to the Dutch testing centres it has never once been found in a pill they have tested. Some people still talk about scaggy pills, which are actually normally just strong MDMA concentrations.

    I heard of heroin laced pills in the mid-nineties in Galway called "Party Timers" or P.T's they allegedly contained it but it was a SELLING Point and the price was £25 and not the usual £15 that pills were costing at the time.
