    Do you often see them around. I just seen a guy in eyre square off his head walking around.

    He then fell on the side of the kerb and was there for about 2 mins before someone helped him up.

    He was absolutely off his head.

    How does 'off his head' equate to heroin?
    Did you see him preparing and injecting the smack?

    Are you sure he was a needler and not just a pis.s head or one of the local winos? I thought the needle using type went down to that patch of waste ground down along the railway at Lough Attalia where the Swiss girl was killed last year and did not really venture up around the square?

    Suppose it's only a matter of time until Galway gets its fair share of Limerick and Dublins type of drug problems. The knacks are getting into it now, dealing, shipping etc and God know there are enough of them in Galway.

    I've always been intrigued by it meself. Would love to know what the buzz is like but doubt I would do it....I have a very addictive personality so more than likely would get addicted.

    The way he was walking. You can tell when someone is off their head on heroin. Funny walk etc. etc.

    This fella was not drunk.

    tbh he looked to be going that direction. Up towards the train station. Maybe they normally stay out of the square but this guy was so off it I'd say he hadn't a clue what he was at.

    btw I never knew that was there patch.....does there be many of them up there.

    This is the first time I have seen someone on heroin in Galway but my mates seen a fella last year. He collapased on the ground in front of them and sh*t started coming out of his mouth. They could see all the needle marks on his arm. Think he was taken away by ambulance.

    I think the heroin stagger had more a "strut" to it. Not as strutty as coke to be sure. That walk is a whole other ball game...

    So anyone up for some smack, wine and kebab house?

    I couldn't give a f*k whether you think it's stupid or not. Who cares about your little anecdote aswell? Or the fact that your from ballymun.

    Just because you come on a thread with you dim-witted opinion are we supposed to forget all other experiences and knowledge we have gained in life because you say so.

    f8ck off.

    Unless you saw him shooting up you're just guessing he was on heroin.

    Calm down.

    When you see someone shouting and roaring on the street (among other characteristics) you can easily assume the guy is drunk with a high accuracy rate after watching him for a minute because different drugs have different effects. We know a drunk when we see one.

    The realiity is that Heroin is in Galway so it's most likely this guy was off his head if he was displaying similiar behavour to people that abuse heroin.

    It was more than the walk specifically. It might be a good idea for you to actually read my thread before replying back.


    I might also add for the people that are replying back without reading my thread that I know alot of people aren#t noticable on heroin. It's just when they are really off it sometimes they start walking really funny and moving strangely.

    I certainly could not give a damn about this lfc85 know it all. I wish he would just go away back to his sh*hole ballymun and mingle with his own type. Probably has absoutely no affiliation to Galway anyway and has blatantly called us all culchies.
