    They'll be selling substances of a recreational/herbal nature.

    Presumably it's all legal and above board? :(

    Of course it is. There popping up all over the place and then closing down due to narrow minded locals causing the owners hassle. You can bet this place will be hounded out of buisness. Just keep an eye on the local reports of it in the Anglo.... any day now...

    But of course it's perfectly fine for the same said councillor to go down to the local drug outlet (ie pub) get plastered and maybe even drive home drunk.

    This is what is wrong with this country. Small minds and people unable to actually think for themselves, and local gombeen politicians going after a soft target to win popularity. This country still has a lot of growing up to do.

    Dear god!!! The owner really is trying to push the buttons of the anti-happy time begruders in Cavan. On the main st with big green colors!!! Its very hard to miss!! On the grape vine its going to get picketed!! Shutters are down but is there a big picture of a Hash Leaf on the front?

    Really could have done with being off the main street and looking a little better like the Hemporiums in Wexfored etc, at least that chain looks clean etc. There going go at this place with the whole "Its on the main street, kids walking past etc etc".

    Sure there already talking about it here.....

    Yeah, I too couldn't believe the big cannabis leaf when I walked by on Saturday - talk about red rag to a bull. At the time the guy working there was shooing a bunch of 12 year olds away. They obviously got wind of what was going down! Hope no one gets it confused with Veales:D

    Right, so i was'nt seeing things. I'm telling you, thats such a massive mistake. I know theres no such thing as bad publicity but there is going to be very little he can do if the folks take a dislike to it and they already have!

    i'd reckon there would be more people calling for a look than there would be buying stuff.

    I've had a few bits out of it. Couple of times I've been in there, I've been the youngest around it, and the tender age of 25.

    Once there was woman and her mum/mum-in-law with her, I'm guessing late 20's early 30's and mum being I'm guessing 50 ish and they were buying Spice Gold and enquiring about salvia 20x.

    Another there was an older chap, late 40's and he was getting party pills, and swallowed 2 before he left the shop.

    So none of this "Oh won't SOMEBODY think of the children!" business. There's other stuff harming them a lot more than any of the stuff you can get from there, or any of the stuff you would use the paraphenalia for, namely booze and fags.

    Looks as if head shop's products will be cut shortly. But as they say there's no such thing as bad press. Free advertising in Cavan Post this week.
