Heroin all over again. Warnings about crack have spoken about for years. Weren’t heeded at all and now it’s everywhere. Once again the vulnerable suffer and people will once again be dehumanised with names like “crackhead” “junkie” etc
There needs to be an amnesty for non-violent drug crimes and a major investment in addiction services
What will happen is the usual knee jerk ‘law & order’ reaction capitalised on and endorsed by Fine Gael and in 10 years the best we can hope for is cleaner streets and bigger prisons
Once it stays away from the leafy suburbs no-one with any kind of power will care, much like in the heroin days. Even less so, because discarded needles aren’t a thing with crack.
Trying to bring up the sheer problem of coke/crack yesterday in dublin and got shot down. There’s a 170% increase for admission to inpatients for cocaine addiction but no- nothing has changed, sure it’s normal to do a bit of coke 🙄
Someday we will have to wake up and deal with this as a society. I hope it comes soon.
Why do you keep posting content like this with the cannabis and friends flair?

Neither of these posts are related to cannabis.

Not surprised. Its very more-ish.
Well, I certainly don’t want to seem uncool so I better start smoking crack
Una about 10yrs behind evwryone else.
Just wait until she finds out about all the meth
If it kills the right kind of people in her view I’m sure she’ll write an article saying how happy she is
You lost me at Una Mullally.
What’s better heroin, crack or meth?
JFC she’s cycling past druggies this past 15 years in her way to the IY office and now she brings forebodings? It’s hardly cutting edge journalism.
Would like to try Crack just to see what the big deal is.
My mate was hitching yesterday. The passenger kit up a rock in front of him…
