“According to Professor Colin O’Gara, a consultant psychiatrist and the clinical lead of addiction services at St John of God Hospital in Dublin, the problem is “particularly prevalent” among farmers aged in their 50s and 60s.”
The auld lads down the mart racking up lines
Drugs are everywhere, the people in charge don’t have a clue.
First it was the Angel dust, now it’s the cocaine. What next lads, fentanyl. God be with the days when it was a bottle of poteen from the mountain.
They gave us all medals for participating and told us we would all be rich if we worked hard, and we could just do whatever we wanted if it was our dream and then sent us of into middle age, manning mops, and spreadsheets, and spanners.
A lot of people feel a bit disillusioned. If they can’t have a Ferrari like they were promised they will have some drugs or booze or playstation.
In honesty one day everybody here will be dead and none of it will matter anyway.
I do prefer the schmell of coke than the schmell of fertiliser
cocaine is literally everywhere these days, during lockdown it got especially big.
but they say theyre absolutely poor and are constantly at a breaking point…
Should have let them grow cannabis, then this wouldn’t be an issue.
They make their own cheese so they have the money.
The shocking thing is it’s barely pure here.
The EMCDDA who track everything drugs in Europe show Ireland as low enough purity for the years they did track – [see here](https://www.emcdda.europa.eu/data/stats2022/ppp_en) and navigate to Cocaine > HCl
[Here’s a document from 2015](https://www.drugsandalcohol.ie/26311/1/FSI%20Drugs%20Purities%20Report%202015%20Final.pdf) of bulk cocaine sampling saying “158 samples were analysed and an average purity of 40% was obtained. The purities ranged from 0.03% to 91%. Levamisole was the most common adulterant detected, being present in 73% of the samples analysed. Other common adulterants were benzocaine (41%), caffeine (22%), lignocaine (18%), and phenacetin (9%).”
Lastly, Simon Harris said drug use on a Friday or Saturday night is “funding and supporting violence, crime and murders the next week”. So he must not have realised farmers (or anyone else) are snorting it Sunday through Thursday. Someone should tell him!
Everything’s coming up Bertie lads.
Grew up on a farm and I have to say I never saw this trend coming. To me a farmer doing coke is as daft a notion as a nun doing LSD.
There was a radio show last year where the lady went around Ireland interviewing people about their use of sneachta.
One was a lad in his thirties who was a farmer, took over from his dad a few years ago.
He said he had to sell 5 heifers last week to cover debt for coke. Said he imagined he’d have to do the same in a few weeks as he’d racked up more debt since.
It’s everywhere, and as someone who does not partake it makes nights out very difficult and off putting when so many friends are on it.
They can do as they please, don’t get me wrong. It’s just difficult being around them now. In a lot of cases it becomes the focal point of everything they do.
Man I feel so naive. 30 now and have finally given up the bag. Always thought it was a 20-40s thing and mainly a late night situation.
St Patrick got rid of da drugs🤔😤
How else are you meant to feel excited about wanking cows.
It’s a bloody epidemic in this country. It’s absolutely everywhere. And it seems like more and more people are doing it regularly to deal with mental health problems, rather than just partaking on an occasional big night out.
I had no idea there was this much profit in farming
Do people really like taking Coke and going to work to do manual labour? It’s honestly not a great feeling
Back in my 20s I’d go to the odd rave and take some E and have a great night, didn’t smoke, drank very little, never had a bad night. Some square enough local lads might talk behind my back, drink their pints and look down on how I enjoyed myself. Down home in the local a few weeks back, I was fucking shocked a couple of them now in their 40s sharing a few lines in the jacks. Life is weird.
Hard not to feel some schadenfreude of farmers rinsing themselves financially on Cocaine while decrying the lack of government assistance.

The farm takes up most of my time, and I have a few lines of cocaine in the evening.
I blame the avacado s
Met one of those lads recently. You would never imagine in a million years this lad would be working the bag.
Bag is everywhere

[Here’s an article from 2014](https://www.drugs.ie/news/article/cocaine_here_is_least_pure_but_second_dearest_in_europe) that says “Cocaine sold on the streets here is the least pure, but the second most expensive in Europe”. I’m not sure how true that is but either way there’s no denying it’s very cut.
