Kilkenny People's attack on the Hemporium

Raze_them_all · 20-10-2008 9:33pm

My friend used to be mad into drugs, but since he got stuff in the shop he says it's better to pay the bit extra so you wont run the risk of getting in legal trouble.

For now that is.

The thing is I doubt a Garda would know the difference between their stuff and the illegal stuff, so you could end up down the station.

Your right, my brother got caught a few times and they took that legall stuff off him and sent it up to dublin to be tested. Too much bollox acting.

It's an interesting argument. Does having shops like these make people who wouldn't ordinarily do drugs do drugs?
Or is it just making them easier to access for the sort of people who would have gone ahead and experimented anyway?

Yeah, thats the point i'm making..
people who wouldnt normally are trying them..
and people who are gonna experiment anyways are gonna try the illegal stuff too.. Just to see the difference, of course!

The government can move quickly when it wants to. I remember a couple of years ago they banned magic mushrooms because some guy took them and jumped off a building.

The week they were pushing through this ban, which had TD's taking the step of working overnight in the Dail, a young lad drank himself into a state and surrounded by his friends, jumped off a boat into the river in Carrick-on-shannon and drowned.
The ban on Magic mushrooms came into effect before the autopsy and inquest on that guy which showed if memory serves me that he had a large quantity of alcohol consumed and some partially, not fully, digested mushrooms begging the question, what caused him to jump?
Is alcohol the greater evil.
But sure its only a few harmless drinks,
But sure its only a few harmless (Insert Drug)

Its not the drug, its the idiot taking them

Haha just came across this now, Jesus every town seems to be getting one these days.

For God's sake we are in the middle of a Recession and now I have to pay to park my car outside my front door. A guy's got to relax somehow.

Seriously if the Hemporium was open in '05 when i did Christmas at Byrne's toy shop I would probably have been on a first name basis with them.

Exactly, Some people can't handle them and go over the top.

Like I was with a person taking pills before and they went over the top while everyone else was on a nice chatty buzz listening to some tunes having a few drinks this person was lying on the ground trying to imitate the shape of a swastika.

all drugs destroy peoples lives and families legal or not ,some can handle them some cannot is rubbish it catches up on everyone eventually some it takes few years others have seen it take up to 15 or twenty years but they end up even worse with epilepsy yes epilepsy and then others get very bad nervous breakdowns chew on that

Stephen · 17-04-2009 10:48am

Heavy use of Alcohol does eventually get you alright.
As alcohol is a depressant it can be a trigger drug for people with bi-polar dissorder, as there is a tendancy to self medicate.

Prozac was the most over prescribed and abused legal drug in the US for many years but its rapidly been overtaken by the new generation of opiat based pain killers, which are addictive and in excess can lead to serious health issues including renal failure.

So most of those pain killers you take that end in the letters "ine" are based on the same extract as heroin.

Legal or illegal is really just a term applied by the people in charge.
Not better or worse.

The difference between poison and cure is dosage.
If you drink too much water it will kill you.

Stephen · 17-04-2009 12:28pm

Alcohol and nicotine don't do any damage? Riiight...

Hmm.. where is this Hemporium shop on kieran street in the other article?
i walk past the Hamp shop quite regularly, first time there were two guys outside it and they whatever they smoking smelled quite funny.. ....

besides, anyone who reads the Kilkenny People wont be the same people who'd buy things in that shop!

Not entirely true my friend.

Avoid such swooping statements.

assymcgee · 06-02-2010 3:00pm

will all of ye get some sense isnt it better to have a shop like this that is safe rather than youths getting into illegal drugs and maybe losing their lifes to the likes of lsd,heroin,extacy etc..i fully believe that the hemporium shops around the country are a great idea and the sooner you people realise this the better.people do not go around protesting about what you like doing and this is a safe way to do what they like.
regards,
John.
