  1. Jesus it’s mad me and my mates went mad on the stuff for a few years but Jesus never on a Wednesday night in the local or sitting at home watching Tele. It’s absolute madness at how prevalent it is now.

    The mad thing is some night they will run out of coke and somebody will offer them heroin or crack and a portion of these people will take it, have seen a few old session buddies go down the route, a couple have passed away due to heart issues and mental health issues due to the abusive nature of their relationship with it.

    Like everything else though if you can keep it in moderation it’s a hell of a drug, bit like gambling, drink and other vices us Irish don’t do moderation too well.

  2. Its without a doubt one of the easiest drugs to get in the country… and I dont just mean illegal drugs.
    Like a packet of Solpadeine is harder to aquire than a few grams of coke.

    If I was so inclined I could easily get someone to sell me a gram outside a guarda station in Broad daylight and I’d be less likely to be interrogated than if I asked for some nurofen plus in the Chemist.

    Our country is weird.

  3. Glad I got out of that circle of friends, everything was about when the next bit of any drug was coming in, even had a friend claim he was healthier than me despite being clean for 8 years, I xon’t smoke, he does and snorts cocaine like smarties

  4. Out last weekend. First time in ages.
    Lots of people on Cocaine. Majority of which were acting like complete assholes.
    This doesn’t get said enough, Coke brings out the inner asshole in the majority of people.
