This is the main problem with Ireland. Its run by old grannies and old men living in the stone age. Reminds me of that episode of Father Ted where theres all these old people protesting outside the porn theater with signs saying "down with that sorta thing".

Asha in Stephen's Green
Happy Hippy Shop on Parnell Sq.

Thanks. This is the best list posted so far. Do you know any up the north side? Someone was telling me there was one beside the leisure plex in Coolock but I couldn't find the place.

It called democracy. Those people are elected by the people - i.e. almost everyone over 18 years of age is entitled to vote. If they don't exercise their entitlement, they can hardly criticise those who are elected.

There's also a Nirvana on William St.

Anybody try the pre-rolled joints they sell? They're e5, are they worth it?

BogWog

Passenger I wouldn't buy any of those marijuana alternative smoking mixes. You'd be better off buying some parsley or oregano and rolling up joints with it. Its the research chemicals you wanna watch out for. Not that long ago they were selling this stuff in Holland called euphoria or something but it was methalone an analogue of MDMA. I don't think its even fully regulated yet but they had to take it off the shelves because it was getting too popular and caught the polices attention.

I found Nirvana on Capal street but couldn't find that happy hippy place. Isn't Parnell Square just that park and the roads around it? Couldn't find anything in temple bar either.

Read my post again and you would have found the Happy Hippy. Its not Parnell Square, Its North Frederick Street.

Not sure but i think the one on crow st has movedto some warehouse in the burbs. Used to be the dublin headshop then irish head shops. Their website has been fancied up in the past week or so but is now minus any contact phone/fax numbers which is a pain in the butt as the contact us page is either very slow or not working properly yet.Pity because it was a boon for us poor culchies who don't have anything like it down our neck of the woods. Anyone else having problems with it?

I find something brilliant about the fact that a chemist can take an illegal drug and modify it's chemical structure slightly so that it becomes legal. Then when the law is changed to include the newly formed drug the substance can be modified again, and again and again....


But don't buy any of them from the internet. Most of them are actually illegal under our analog laws. There was a case in Ireland here a few years ago involving police, and doors being kicked in at ungodly hours in the morning. It was over the 2c-x compunds if I'm not mistaken.

BogWog

Well you can call it an analogue but when the chemist modifies it technically its a different compound. Yea I don't know how these analogue laws work but I'd imagine they'd be tricky to implement since so many legal substances share similar structure to the illegal ones.

Haha ungodly hours. They raid you at times when even gods sleeping. Some countries like South Africa I think some of these 2c-x drugs are still legal. The U.S. is the forerunner in the war on drugs and they set the example for all other countries. They have the whole 2c-x family banned and they ban alot of drugs as soon as the first underground chemist discovers it. There are some interesting compounds that haven't been banned there yet though. I don't remember the name of the one I'm thinking of but its an analogue of methacathinone I think. Theres already dickheads advertising it and selling it over the internet though so its just a matter of time.

Funny as it may sound I think that most of the lesser known research chemicals escape legislation in the US, or at least they did until some time ago when I stopped following the story. Most of the manufacturers of said chemicals were in the US and Canada.

It really is ridiculous what can be bought over the internet.

sneakerfreak

also miss behavin in rathmines between tramco and dominos

its also a sex shop but they have as much as nirvana or the other stores and do smoke in pre rolled joints for a 5er with no tobacco at all in it

As soon as they get popular they get banned though. MDMA was legal at one point. You'd think that drug laws would become more liberal as society progresses but its the other way around. Even in Holland they're constantly implementing more restrictions on the drugs that are still legal there.

Its hard to believe looking back at it that shrooms were legal here all along we just didn't know about it. I wonder what would have happened in the courtroom if you were arrested with a load of shrooms. Obviously they have to check the laws concerning something they wanna charge someone for. That lad jumping out the window was just a good excuse for them to ban shrooms. If it hadn't been that excuse they woulda found another one.

What are your opening hours Johnny? Do tell us more.

latenia

Does anyone else think that these shops are getting out of hand? I'm as easy going as anyone about their existence but the language used in their window displays and advertising through people holding signs on the street is starting to look very seedy.
It will only take a couple of complaints from parents about drugs paraphenalia being openly advertised on major city centre streets and they'll be banned altogether.
If you walk from Connolly Station to Capel St-the major east-west axis in the city-you now pass 5 or 6 of these or people holding signs for them.
