    Can't understand the legality of this place. Friends of mine but a load of legal stimulents in there over xmas. Some "snow" and "smoke". I only tried the smoke which is green like grass but smells funky. It gets you stoned as a coot and is 100% legal.

    Just wondering has anyone else heard of the place and how is it legal to sell these things?

    there all over Ireland, perfectly legal due to there relative obscurity. Remember, mushrooms were legal untill publicised


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,378 ✭✭✭Krieg


    Don't they try to bring in legislation to ban these things? but legislation is kinda slow so they are on the 'market' for about 2 years until they are banned :D
    My guess anyway

    It's their fault magic mushrooms are illegal


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,711 ✭✭✭Redhairedguy


    100% legal bro.

    "Smoke" (bless it in times of need) is just herbal and root extracts.

    Botany just got cooler!

    The pills they sell are dangerous stuff... Double dropped them before thinking I was all hardcore and stuff, but ended up absolutely twisted off of my nut for 12 hours solid (followed by another 30+ without sleep)

    ...good times...

    Well it's now illegal to pick them and take them responsibly and do your research, making them illegal to sell is fine by me.

    Has anyone tried this 'smoke' stuff? What's it like.


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,625 ✭✭✭AngryHippie


    yeah It works if you smoke enough of it, but It'l give you an encounter with genghis if ya overdo it, the stoned gets a bit salvia-ish if ya smoke too much.

    Banning of mushies not cool btw. Screw you all who disagree. Thai Cubensis were so much fun

    Its grand. Hard to smoke though compared to grass. It tastes a bit funky and if you smoke enough you will get stoned as fcuk.

    The smoke is good alright buy that spice is ****e, as is the pills, gives you a small buzz alright, like you're coming up but you never actually come up and then you're awake for two days


  • Registered Users Posts: 500 ✭✭✭slickmcvic


    think headshops are a great idea....the one in dublin is really
    busy...I'd much rather see money goin into their hands than
    that of a dealers...they dont fund organised crime and you
    can have some assurance on what yir gettin...(I don't touch narcotics btw!!)


  • Registered Users Posts: 293 ✭✭padraig71


    Hooray for headshops. The more people learn to grow their own ganja, the better the overall quality will be, the less soap bar etc will be passed off as genuine dope, the lower the prices, the less profitability for organised criminals. Plus we gain valuable practical horticultural knowledge which will be handy when the demise of the oil age really starts to bite and we need to be growing our own food. Mass civil disobedience will bring down these illiberal laws within a few years, purely as a matter of shifting demographics/age of population.

    Sounds like stoner talk to me... :D

    Overall I prefer Nirvana to the Headshop the staff are much more friendly and have boobs.

    Spice is utter ****e, spice gold is ok and Smoke (only available in the headshop) is the best of the lot. It's only good as a last resort though, I'm not a big fan of the high you get off it.

    Banning shrooms was just a stupid unnecessary snap decision. You can still buy grow kits in the head shop though. Well worth it, as shrooms are the 2nd best high available after cannabis and a great night in.

    Those BZP pills are crap, there just a power pep pill with no buzz. The magic ones have a bit of a buzz and are the best I've tried but still very lame I think people that go on about how ****ed up they got on them are suffering from the placebo effect.


  • Registered Users Posts: 699 ✭✭✭hada


    ah yes the headshop.. poked around it a bit in the past.. ended up getting poppers (or video head cleaners as they're called in the states).. actually quite enjoyed the little buzz I got off them. Combined with alcohol i found it worked quite well!...

    although I'd be a bit more wary of using poppers now, they surely can't be good for you?.. besides that I would be more in favour of buying from stores such as nirvana, headshop etc because as was noted earlier on, the money isn't going to criminals, or to fund criminally based activities...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,349 ✭✭✭nobodythere


    Yes but nirvana have a garda camera outside their shop

    No the government drew a little box around it on a map exempting it from the law :rolleyes:

    Wha?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 16,658 ✭✭✭✭Peyton Manning


    salvia ftw :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    Never liked that stuff I've given it chance after chance and just don't like the high, if you can call it that.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,349 ✭✭✭nobodythere


    ScumLord wrote: »

    Ok I may be jumping to conclusions but it's definitely a fairly heavy duty camera that looks the same as the other garda cameras.

    Busting hippies is the first step to busting dealers so yes they would.

    +1, but the 35x. The 50x ain't worth the extra spondoolicks for that bit more of a trip.
    Spice is ****e, but I should try this smoke business. And BZP is a head wrecker, stay away.
    Woodrose on the other hand...

    That's a given! But in times of great desperation it gets the job done.

    Salvia ain't my thing... I just ended up laughing at a clothes line for 10 minutes. Afterwards, I was cold and my jaw hurt...

    Got that smoke stuff yesterday.

    A bit harsh on the throat but definitely ok in times of need. Does anyone know what's in them? All I can smell is cloves.

    Those morning glory seeds, took em about a year ago, puked my guts up for 2 days. Stay away.
