Rosslare Drug Seizure

lols...you can already see the damage alcohol is doing, yet here you are arguing to legalise possibly the most socially destructive drug known to man. Prohibition is not the issue when it comes to cocaine.

you do realise this is exactly what we have been doing, and for decades, we ve been doing the whole education thing, people are not stupid, they know these drugs are dangerous, they know they can kill, yet.....

what do you mean by this statement, 'most people seem to be incapable of doing anything unless it is on the tv'?

harmful consumption has existed since man walked on the planet, long before tv arrived?

martin cahil more than likely had disturbing disorders such as apd, such disorders are relatively common, particularly amongst criminal classes....

love/hate was a great piece of tv, kin is also very good, most characters would posse such cluster b disorders, again, common amongst criminals....

..completely disagree, we had the drug talk in the 90's in school, plenty of lads i went to school with, went off and done even more, some still in it, some seriously in trouble with it.....

...ive never seen drug taking as cool, and i grew up around it, probably seen most drugs at this stage, countless offers, with some job offers in it to....

again, im pro legalisation....

...probably a part of it alright....

I'm not medically qualified to ensure quality control of any drug, legal or not. There are obviously others who are. Hygiene standards would improve. I'm sure you're aware of smugglers who swallow it in condoms etc and crap it out, that sort of unhygienic practice wouldn't have to happen if it were legal. I read about Gerry Ryan's death and there was worm powder mixed with his cocaine. I'm not a vet but I doubt that's nutritional. I also believe it was a mistake to close the head-shops.

Feck all of us are "medicilly qualified" I would suggest.

So back to my question - are there any companies in the world that legally produce cocaine for a country where it is legally available?

You reckon those types of unhygenic practices wouldnt have to happen were it legal - where would it legally be produced and what level of international co-operation would be required to ensure the shipping of it be permitted for our specific market?

Ah yeah, closing a completed unregulated/quasi legal place for buying various types of "materials" was a serious mistake..........

So globally there's no organisations producing cocaine to a scientifically verified and managed standard?

How do you propose that Ireland legalises cocaine then?

Seems a bit far fetched to say the least?

There must be labs that produce it legally for legal research purposes, no? Obviously they'd have to scaleup/license these systems.

Conversation about legalizing coke is pie in the sky without diamonds though. Weed will be legalized in Ireland way before that, IMO, likely as part of an appeal to the youth vote around the time of the next GE.

To exclude bad actors, and they are truly evil, especially in S and Central America, cocaine would have to be manufactured here or in the EU in licensed labs etc etc. Can it even be grown in Europe without expensive greenhouses?

All that said, I have seen regular coke use destroy personalities. I don't like it. And the trail of blood and misery the industry leaves in other parts of the world is just vile. For that last reason alone it should be illegal.
