It’s almost like taking drugs has very little to do with social class.
>peer-to-peer dealing, can be considered safe by young people as it rarely involves violence, according to Rebekah Brennan, a researcher at University College Cork.

Ah, well that’s good to hear.

#IF THE DRUGS DON’T DESTROY YOUR LIFE THEN WE WILL
Good news is no news.
His Ma’s lovely, if you’ve had the pleasure of meeting her.
Pity she’s burdened with that little shit weasel.
You’re about 20 years late with this realisation IT
Multi-millionaire farmer…..his son is the town drug dealer.
Think of that what you will
> He (Chief Superintendent Seamus Boland,) warns that teenagers can be persuaded by the false narrative that illegal drugs are not harmful. “‘Recreational’ is one of the most dangerous words in the English language when applied to illegal drugs.
Hmmm…
>“Many people who use drugs do not become addicted and, in fact, a significant amount of people use drugs non-problematically,” she (Rebekah Brennan, a researcher at UCC) said.
Damn, who do you believe? /s
just legalise it already ffs
I think that access to drugs has changed, back in the day you would have to know some sketchy peoole but now anyone can just buy it off the darknet.
Big time drug dealer living in v v exclusive development near my apartment was daughter of a government politician…
This is disgusting classism. The privileged have been taking/selling drugs and getting away with it longer than…..the lower class? The un-privileged?
Our top story tonight, people do drugs. Coming up at 6, water still wet, a breakthrough consensus.
Ah sorry but gets 22k worth of drugs posted to your actual home address, seriously like? Fecking moron,
Space cakes
Can someone post the article text I can’t read it due to the pay wall.
Weed needs to be legalised asap.
Such moves have proven to hit criminals more than anyone else.
In America, the ‘narcos’ were forced to switch to growing and illegally importing avocados as growing marijuana became unprofitable for farmers.
Furthermore, there are multi-billion dollar industries being created in America and Canada while our politicians just sit on their hands scheming about how to cull the nations cattle herd.
Is there any evidence to support this claim?
honestly, you would be surprised how prevelent drugs are in college, how many students deal and how many buy, I knew it was common, but not to this level
Alot of crime committed here in Ireland are actually by privileged pricks
Jesus Christ, what is it with the media that they want to absolutely crucify this young fella? Have they anything else to be talking about ffs?
Even the privileged need to save for a house deposit.
I know him well he’s a good enough kid but he has so much money and lives in a small town so his ego is inflated with his fame and his friends are the biggest losers I’ve met hopefully he can get some perspective and grow up
I can remember a bunch of needles, burnt spoons and tin foil were found in the public toilet on the grand parade in cork city. Guy took pictures and sent it into a radio station who put it on their Facebook. I don’t know much about drug taking but it was obvious someone was doing something illegal. I spotted a comment underneath
“No Irish person would do those drugs, it’s the tourists” oh yeah because Stephan from Helsinki came all the way to cork to do heroin in a toilet.
Guy lived outside the city and probably never same into the city centre before 6pm. Then he’d seen the multiple passed out and asleep people at the end of the grand parade. It’s like their blind.
A lot of people think if you grow up rich you have no problems ergo you don’t get into drugs. Big no there.
yeah posh boys never sold to their mates before, this is brand new
There’s a paywall so I can’t read the full article. Is it saying that a lot of young middle-class people are drug dealers and does it give any statistics or is it just assumption based on this one case?
Translation: We just realised that privileged people sell drugs too
Has he been sentenced? I read his granny write to the judge on his behalf. Sad, pitiful actually; referring to his mam. As to the perp, ah well. He is f*cked
