yes, and across the whole of Europe (including Ireland) the import of all drugs has increased in vast amounts.
This is why there has been a massive increase in barbers, mini-marts, and newsagents, as a way to launder the money, using business that are cash processing.
Found myself agreeing with Regina Doherty in places. She’s right about people openly smoking cannabis in Dublin too much. And she’s right that even in Amsterdam you don’t see that because there are designated areas where you can smoke cannabis.
I’m not sure if she realises that she gave the solution to the problem of the smell of cannabis around Dublin
Weed should be legalised. Personally despise the stuff, smells horrible. But whatever we’re doing now isn’t working
It was never winnable because drugs are class
The “war on drugs” can never be won. Only way to do that is to completely remove supply, or completely remove demand, neither of which are possible.
You have to laugh that people are even asking that question any more.
Meant as a rhetorical question I hope.
The war was never meant to be won. It was meant to be continued.
Mostly yes. It has however at least made the use of “weapons grade” narcotics like heavy opioids and psychedelics* somewhat taboo. The idea of a society in which a culture similar to the current alcohol culture existed as broadly around hard drugs is a bleak one.
*Yes lads extensive mushroom use is bad for you fuck off back to the spirit world
I once started a fight with the ocean because it pissed me off and I wanted to control it but no matter how much I punched it, kicked it, head butted it the ocean just kept rolling in on the shore.
I’ll tell you one thing am going to get a load of head strong lads to join me next time, I think if I throw a load of money at it, I will be able to tame the oceans, I will control them, I will stop them from causing harm, I know I can do it because my ego tells me and I fucking hate the ocean.
People tell me I can’t win versus the ocean, that so many people have tried before but they don’t know me, I’ll tell you this, I will win.
Yes. We won. Give it up.
Has any country won a ‘war on drugs?’
The places that tend to have low drug use, seem to be so primarily for cultural reasons, not some massive spending on law enforcement once the problem existed. Once drug use is relatively common, those that are pragmatic tend to fare better than those that just try to fight it.
The war on drugs failed the second a convenient opt out for alcohol and tobacco was created. Drugs are bad but *those* drugs are ok, but shur, alcohol isn’t a drug, it’s a drink for gods sake! Just because it tastes like a drug, acts like a drug, is a drug – that doesn’t make it a drug! Only dirty smelly people I don’t like use drugs!
Now…who’s up for a Jaeger bomb? Any rollies going lads?
